used in ourlaboratory course. For example, a Progressive Paper was used in a chemistry capstone course,in which students wrote a large laboratory report in sections, resulting in a complete paper at theend of the semester (Van Bramer & Bastin, 2013). The students received detailed feedback aftereach section, which they could use to revise the section as well as apply it to future sections.Breaking the laboratory report into parts and spreading the work out demonstrated to studentshow to keep the project manageable. Coinciding with this, the successive draft submissionsshowed significant score improvements over time, and the students and instructors valued theexperience. In fact, teaching a process approach to writing can support students

A capstone project with a group of students with different backgrounds allowedstudents to utilize their varying skill sets. While there are many core courses in the engineeringcurriculum that are included in both the electrical and mechanical tracks, the divergence ofcourses and emphases between departments meant that the students needed to learn each other’sstrengths to determine who would be best at various aspects of the project. Electrical and computer engineering students were able to help compose the basis of the modeland determine the initial direction of the project. In

The earned points scale [0-3] captures the extent towhich students consider each sustainable design criterion in their capstone projects. Evaluatorsassign a score of 0 to projects that show no evidence of incorporating the design criterion, whilea score of 3 is assigned if the project shows evidence of extensive criterion application.

Where do students learn about teams in thecurriculum? How do they learn to be good team members?
