better.At the University of Notre Dame, a robotic football competition was initiated in the spring of2008 as the main design project for the capstone course for all senior mechanical engineeringstudents. An advantage of a robotic football game is that the robustness of the students designsand manufacturing skills are tested in a way that they are not in FIRST or related competitions –the designs must consider being able to withstand significant impacts. Furthermore, it takesadvantage of the high (and growing) popularity of American football on college campuses.After repeating the competition in 2009, the coordinating faculty desired to reach out and includeanother university in the next competition. To do this, it was decided to invite a team of

entrepreneurship exemplified in senior capstone projectsAbstractInnovation and entrepreneurial skills, combined with technological developments, in conjunctionwith requisite social and political forces, will likely be required in order to develop solutions tothe significant problems affecting the world and to marshal the resources required to improve thelives of people. Social entrepreneurship allows for the evaluation of project success toincorporate explicit criteria related to improvements in “assets” beyond those that are easilymeasured monetarily. It is well established that projects and programs can typically onlysucceed when the social requirements and constraints surrounding existing problems and that ofthe proposed
