IntroductionAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires students to complete acapstone design experience that prepares them for engineering practice through team-basedprojects incorporating the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work [1]- [4].While capstone course pedagogy differs widely from one program to another, in all cases,students are expected, through the process of completing the capstone project, to understanddesign constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, ethics, and social impact.

Engineering Education, 2016  Multidisciplinary Patient-Centered Capstone Senior Design ProjectsAbstractCapstone design projects are the culmination of the student learning process at the undergraduatelevel and provide an opportunity for students to work on real-world, open-ended problems.Following the engineering design process, students discover needs, propose solutions, buildprototypes and test the implemented design. There are many models that exist in the exactimplementation of this student experience, which satisfies many of the outcomes required by theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), ranging from need-based designto basic research.1 A common model for biomedical engineering

Two student surveys and one end-of-quarter grading rubric are used to assess the merits of the coupled course design through thefirst quarter of a three quarter capstone series. Results of the surveys show that the SMCCcourse structure resolves student meeting scheduling problems by mandating attendance andretains departmental rigor by having advisors directly assigned in the departmental capstonecourse. We found that highly motivated teams with defined projects thrive with this model butthat industry-defined projects require increased communication for all involved faculty andindustry

objective of the present paper is to describe students’ self-regulation while workingon their senior capstone design projects. The specific focus of this study was to understand howstudents manage their projects with their teammates on three major issues: Team Management,Resources Management and Time Management. Quantitative data associated with student Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) on project management were collected using our Engineering DesignMetacognitive Questionnaire (EDMQ) survey instrument. Three hundred and fourteen studentsparticipated in the study. Data collected were evaluated quantitatively by comparing the meanvalue of each item from the same project-management-related issues (i.e., teamwork, time, andresources) across SRL episodes

In an active underground mine, there are several hazards a worker can face. Theimplementation of autonomous control of the mobile equipment used in these mining operationsis one of the ways to cut down the number of injuries. It can also result in less time wasted for theworkers as well as an overall safer mining environment. With autonomous vehicles in undergroundmines, it is less likely for accidents to occur involving mine

As many engineers will gain employment in a healthcare related field, it isimportant that they are able to empathize with the target user – often handicapped and/or elderlyindividuals.

Design courses can be uncomfortable for many studentsbecause of the open-ended nature of the requirement, leading to many questions such as “Are weon the right track? Do I have the right answer? Are we approaching this the right way?” Due totheir unique experiences, student veterans in engineering are well positioned to enable theircohorts to overcome these challenges.
