An opportunity arose to address both these issues by building anengine/chassis dynamometer.A funding request has been granted by a robotics company paving the way for design and build of anengine/chassis dynamometer. The dynamometer, in its first iteration, cost about $10,000 but a reviseddesign costs under $8,000.

because they cannot take time away from the paying jobs that are supporting their education.Other possible factors affecting the choices of students could include (2) Students completing their junior year do not want to take time away from their senior- year studies, including their capstone project, and (3) Students completing their senior year do not want to take the risk of pursuing a startup when they could instead obtain a “real” job.And other factors, certainly, may play a role, too. For example, it is possible that that thestudents’ projects, while worthwhile, were not at a level of significance that students felt justifiedfurther effort.

, but given little guidance on how to do soeffectively [17]. In engineering, faculty frequently use interventions unsupported by relevanttheories to direct students to manage their time, work together well and contribute their fair shareof effort [18]. According to Lancellotti and Boyd, “Students are often placed in teams for a classproject where it is optimistically assumed that the experience of teamwork itself will makestudents better at working in teams” [16]. Teamwork is an integral part of capstone designcourses that provides “many opportunities to participate in team projects, but they do little tohelp students develop or improve specific teamwork skills” [19].However, some research suggests that engaging in longer term, authentic team

This approach “conditionalizes” knowledge and providesstudents with an intermediate design experience before undertaking a major machine designexperience in their capstone course. Furthermore, based on the “backwards design” planningframework for designing courses, the paper suggests that the project should be approachedgradually – in phases – from the first day of class, and extending throughout the semester, toprovide quality feedback to students throughout the entire process, thus increasing the potentialof achieving expertise. The phases were also synchronized with the material presented in class,and with the exams, to further strengthen the knowledge acquired by the students

sophomore and junior years.Even within capstone courses, teamwork instruction can be limited. A national survey ofcapstone design courses that included faculty beliefs and teaching practices by Pembridge andParetti showed that teamwork, as a separate topic from project management, were rarely in thetop five topics covered in the course [18]. Much attention in literature has been focused aroundhow to form teams [19-23] and using peer-evaluation to improving teamwork skills [24, 25] butthere are still many open-ended questions relating to the best way to manage and mentor teams[15].One major reason for benchmarking teaming experiences currently in the curriculum is to betterunderstand where students are exposed to teams throughout a curriculum.
