through the life cycle they better realized what they can and what they cannot deliver. • They thought that they are better prepared to join the work force. • Number of students point to some of the issues associated with the personality conflicts between the team members. The mentors (PI, assigned staff, the two SMEs, and the two graduate students), were pleasantly surprised by what the interns were able to accomplish duding this nine weeks. The level and complexity of the project given to the team was almost close to what is assigned at the capstone project for students pursuing bachelor degree in computing field.REFERENCES[1] Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures (IP Code), IEC Standard 60529, 2004.[2] A.

havecollected over the years. In addition, we have built in opportunities for students to specify,design, and assess the quality of their own work.The merged requirements and architecture course leads into a two-semester capstone seniorproject. This senior project engages students and external sponsors in an end-to-end,requirements-to-delivery project. Requirements engineering and architecture design are centralto this team-based senior project, and the merged requirements and architecture course givesstudents the system-wide problem-space/solution-space mindset necessary to succeed in theirsenior projects.Course StructureThe merged requirements and architecture course is designed with three main threads that occurin parallel, as Figure 1 shows. We use

from the Software Engineering Master’s Program.Two distinctive aspects of the Stevens engineering curriculum are the traditional breadth ofengineering education (see Figure 1) and the integrative, eight-course Design Spine The DesignSpine is a fundamental component of the engineering curriculum that is required for all B.E.students, regardless of discipline. It consists of eight core design courses taken throughout alleight undergraduate semesters of study including a two-semester capstone senior design project,which introduces students to the underlying principles of engineering design through hands-onand project-based learning [7]. For the software engineering students, the senior design projectwill be a multi-disciplinary project focused on

comments in submissions in a LMS system. Overall,the main format of feedback is still in the written format. This format generally providesmechanism provides for an ineffective, static monologue between the instructor and the student 7.In past studies, it has been shown that for many problems, alternative forms of feedback outsideof the written comment can be more effective, the best effectiveness often comes from providingfeedback in a variety of modes8. Verbal feedback is often employed in a mentorship manner.Most software engineering programs have some form of a capstone project where an advisor ormentor routinely meets with project teams and discusses their project. This mentorship helpsstudents tremendously. Oral presenters are often “coached
