Furthermore, social media is being used to increase subject interest and boost classattendance by improving instructor and student interactions. These techniques challenge studentsenough to maintain focus while remaining within their capabilities to preserve student curiosity.Learning enhancement using these new teaching styles was assessed through surveys provided atthe beginning and end of each experiment. The studies sampled students from a variety ofbackgrounds and skill sets including military, medical, and college students. Alternative and costeffective

This paper reviews the literature oncapstone projects in general, to draw lessons that can be learned to formulate the basisfor designing the course. It then describes how the course objectives, teaching andlearning activities and assessments are devised. A typical delivery of the course isthen described where the three elements have been detailed. The main learningactivities were reviews of lessons from other
