Engineering Education, 2019 Capstone Prepares Engineers for the Real World, Right? ABET Outcomes and Student PerceptionsAbstractCapstone design is expected to tie together several components of a student’s engineering degreeprogram, provide valuable skills for the student’s transition to real-world employment, and in the processsatisfy a large number of the program’s ABET requirements. Typical capstone course objectives reflectthis ambitious set of requirements, and student outcomes can be aligned with these objectives. This workaddresses the links among course objectives, what students think they learned in capstone, and thecompetencies reflected in their final work. This analysis contributes to the assessment of

In2002, the course was revised using the “backward design” approach [2] with formativeand summative assessments in lecture and lab activities. In later years project-based andlearning-centered instructional approaches with creative ideation and sketching [3] wereintroduced. Such approaches follow a natural cycle of Kolb’s learning model [4], whichincludes abstract conceptualization, active experimentation / application, concreteexperience, and reflective observation.

A great short story requires superb character development, an excellentplot often with a seminal event and with twists, ethical dilemmas and an outcome.

The struggles of novice programmers is well documented [1].

Recent work [8, 15] calls for teachers to be engaged in the “doing” of engineering tofacilitate this learning. However, to date, there is limited information about what thoseengineering experiences for educators should look like.

The first was a structured way tointeract with the book that allowed students to document passages that could be used forinspiration in the design process, to convert these to a visual representation of a concept, and toverbally portray the connection between the design and the passage. These “reflection”assignments were accomplished through a type of two column notes. The second was to providea list of technical objectives for the robot. This allowed the

Of the 1213 students, 226were enrolled in sections of the course that used structure-reflection [6]; 874 were enrolled insections that did no or minimal (e.g., minute paper) reflection. To test the hypothesis that thescores obtained for factors associated with timely review of feedback were higher for sectionsthat did reflection than those that did no or minimal reflection, a Kruskal-Wallis test and aWilcoxon Rank test were used.
