relatedguidance.Advising is particularly important for engineering students. The results of a study performedon 113 undergraduates who left Engineering in 2004, 2007 and 2008 show that the top threefactors are: poor teaching and advising, the difficulty of the engineering discipline, and a lackof “belonging” within engineering [5].Our project framework is based on Lean Manufacturing principles [6]. Originally derivedfrom the Toyota Production System. Lean is a philosophy that aims to improve the efficiencyof a system by eliminating waste and continuous improvement [7].

, 2]. Training students to develop design thinking and skills will allow them to enterprofessional practice ready to participate in the challenge of infrastructure re-design. Indeed,ABET requires that students have “an ability to apply engineering design to producesolutions…” upon graduation [3]. Perhaps the most effective way to guide students indeveloping design skills is through engagement in real-world projects. Furthermore, providingauthentic design experiences in a supportive educational environment that encourages successcan build self-efficacy (one’s beliefs in their ability to achieve specific tasks), which in turn fuelsmotivation to succeed as an engineer [4]. Promoting engineering self-efficacy is a promisingstrategy for retaining

To use a spoon, the person may need to like the color; and the material ofthe blade must be strong enough for an endurance task. Because design decisions areconsequential, undergraduate engineering programs have a responsibility to prepare students asdecision makers.Capstone design courses allow undergraduate engineering students to experience open-endeddesign projects before starting their professional careers. As such, capstone serves as anopportunity to develop students’ ability to make decisions in an ill-structured setting. Typically,explicit instruction related to decision making includes an introduction to rationalistic tools, suchas decision

Such short-term experiences increased partially owing to the intense global competition and theimportance for engineering students to develop global competence [6] [7].
