capstone design-build experience with a focus onsystem design, building, testing, and operation.8The ChallengeIn a uniquely pervasive manner, Arizona State University’s College of Technology andInnovation (CTI) values learning of engineering in context (often called engaged learning or“hands-on” learning). As a result, CTI engineering education programs have infused authenticpractice-based experience in the student’s educational experience. Examples of such experiencesinclude realistic projects and problems mirroring the situations CTI students will encounter intheir professional engineering careers. Characteristics of these experiences include studentsworking on interdisciplinary teams, where interdisciplinary implies a broad spectrum of skills

reinvigorate the country’s university system. Part of that effort has been theestablishment of the National Military Academy of Afghanistan (NMAA); a four-year, bachelor degreegranting institution modeled after the military academies of the United States. Two of the primarydegrees offered by NMAA are in Civil and General Engineering. In the summer of 2009, facultymembers from the United States Military Academy (USMA) traveled to NMAA to serve as mentors for thebudding Academy.This same principle applies beyond Afghanistan. There is a continuing need for engineering expertiseand education in Nicaragua, India and elsewhere. Engineering faculty and students today can expect towork on projects far beyond the borders of their home countries, in settings

Each alternative capstone design team operates as much as possible like a realcompany in the private sector and is run by the students. Team sizes range from 10 to 70 or moremembers. All team members have prescribed responsibilities corresponding to their level ofmaturity, abilities, and technical education. Team members define problems, develop and designsolutions, perform testing and analyses, make recommendations, manufacture parts, stay withinbudgets and schedules, and manage multiple projects. This alternative capstone design programhas converted the traditional classroom into a multi-year

not make the connection properly so the two motors did not run in sync. Thisis a classical example that students learn from their mistakes. They won’t find anything wrong oftheir design until they saw the test results. Fig6.6 Top View of the Robot Prototype Designed by Team Two with 2 Motors to drive the Robot.7. Assessment and ConclusionsThe project was conducted in capstone courses of two associate degree programs. For moststudents, this is the first time they were exposed to this type of hands-on design project. Pre andpost surveys were conducted. Although most students said they learn a lot from this freshexperience, majority asked that this type of hands-on design project be given much early in theirfreshman years. Most students
