education.12 In literature, themost popular way of integrating real-world problem solving, especially in multidisciplinaryteams, seems to be through capstone design courses. As of 2005, roughly 35% of undergraduatecapstone design projects were conducted in multidisciplinary teams of students (an increase from21% in 1994).6 Evidence has shown, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that students benefitgreatly from working in multidisciplinary settings. Survey results show that engineeringprofessionals associate interdisciplinary thinking with creativity in their peers and ratemultidisciplinary work as very important in preparation for industry.7 Similarly, students whoparticipated in a multidisciplinary capstone course identified functioning in a

Benefits of such hands-on design projects implemented in the freshman year include, increased retention, studentmotivation, academic performance, etc. After the freshman year, most mechanical engineeringstudents rarely have opportunities to engage in hands-on design projects until their senior yearwhen the capstone design projects are implemented, where students apply their acquiredknowledge to an open-ended problem and produce a working prototype of the design or a finalproduct that has been manufactured. Within the Mechanical Engineering curriculum, somesophomore and junior level courses contain hands-on labs and

Engineering capstone projects are a good model however,they tend to include students within a single department and may lack the academic diversityneeded in a holistic study. Ultra-ambitious efforts like SSP are likely to require internationalparticipation, so an objective of the SSP-WPT team was to include representatives from severalnations as well.Attracting students to a summer internship generally requires pay.

, there exists one significant drawback: fresh graduatesare unskilled at the process of representing real-world systems as idealized models that can besubsequently analyzed using theoretical textbook principles. This conclusion was based uponanecdotal feedback received from employers and freshly graduated engineers. This anecdotalfeedback was enough to initiate a more formal process to explore the transition from theclassroom to the real-world for an engineer or technologist.The capstone course, where students do projects with industry, attempts to fill in the voidbetween theory and practice. However, based upon feedback from fresh engineering graduates, itdoes not perform an optimum job of doing so since it is a single course taken during the

The engineering capstone in our program is typical of other institutions in that it requires alarge time commitment from the students. They have projects to complete, numerous reports towrite, and presentations to prepare. It is likely that taking this ethics examination is not a highpriority in their list of things to complete so it may not be given the serious attempt that wewould hope from these

For many pursuing an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, the process canbe tedious and difficult. Much like an engineering design, an engineering education requiresspecific tools to see the problem from design to production. For many, the desired solution toproducing the degree is supplemented only by an introductory design class, a few hands onlaboratories that provide an introduction to a few key basic concepts, and a capstone course thatrequires the implementation of the acquired knowledge in a final design project intending tomimic the design process
