nature of the teams were such that each student neededto provide specific skills in order to complete the project. After completion of the course,the authors noted that a key concern was that the civil engineering students did notparticipate as much as the students from the other disciplines.Another potential issue with multidisciplinary capstone design involving civil andenvironmental engineers is the scale of the infrastructure design projects that arecommon in these disciplines. Frank et al.5 described a multidisciplinary capstone seniordesign project program at Florida State University. Their multidisciplinary programincludes mechanical, electrical and computer, and industrial and manufacturingengineering. The authors report that the program

: One Water, Transportation, and Energy, and each of these aresupported with a single “module”, as shown in Table 1. A Fundamentals module was created tointroduce students to the basic concepts, and the Capstone module is intended to tie the entirecourse together with case studies. Note that in Table 1, the lessons in the One Water module,which is the focus of this paper, are highlighted.

realized how time intensive and expensivethe test would be. She decided to adjust her proposed method of analysis to the readily accessibleHACH Method. She put together the list of materials for testing and ordered it. Not longafterward, she realized she had ordered double what she needed. Luckily, with the help of facultyhere in the department, that mistake turned into an advantage for Melissa and three other studentsto use that extra testing material for capstone projects. She went through lab safety training, andprepared herself for experiments to be completed in the lab. For the first three lab meetings, hermentor was doing the experiments with her; after these supervised experiments, she felt ready toconduct the following procedures
