and non-business courses. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Generating Start-up Relevance in Capstone Projects1. 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. Inaddition, students are

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

First-Year Engineering Students from a medium-sized,urban, public university took part in a semester long design project. The Honors Students (1section or approximately 20% of the class) had an additional design project that utilized 3D printtechnologies. During the 2015-2016 school year the honors students worked in small groups todevelop a concept that was then 3D printed for a design competition and then students had theopportunity to revise their design for a final design competition. Course instructors assessed theexperience to better understand how the use of 3D printing

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

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
