The ME Capstone Design Course utilizes the knowledge learned by the studentsin different courses for solving practical engineering problems, and prepare them for the realengineering job. A survey tool was developed in order to determine how successful theCapstone Design Course (ME470 and ME475) were in preparing the new graduatingengineers. The graduating students were asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 4, the impact theybelieve the Mechanical Engineering Capstone Design Project had in preparing them for someof the “Best Practices” expected from New Graduating Mechanical Engineers, by theindustry.

As a result, the students are expected to not onlyunderstand the main challenges in mechanical design and analysis, but also to comprehend howthe ASEPS units are assembled, what types of functions can be done by these rover-armplatforms and propose possible innovative ideas.

Engage students to do research on an existing engineering case study and present it to the class for discussion. This method helps both in motivating and involving students to learn the subject well as it applies to real-world. It also helps to relate design with current and contemporary issues and how the overall design of a component or a system impacts the society as a whole.
