of a capstone design instructor workshop forthe 2014 Capstone Design Conference.1. IntroductionEngineering capstone design projects are intended to provide a culminating experience forseniors where they solve a complex, open-ended design challenge that requires the integration ofmany of the engineering concepts mastered over their undergraduate careers. The students are intheir final year of study and are preparing to transition out to the workforce, graduate studies, orto the military or public service.According to the 2005 comprehensive national survey of capstone design programs conducted byHowe[1], 98% of the 444 engineering programs at the 262 responding institutions (representingabout 26% of all programs) included capstone projects as

having to achieve, they are protected from failure. There is no punishment for not achieving…. By protecting people from risk we destroy their self-esteem. We rob them of the opportunity to become strong competent people. Facing risk is the only way we gain confidence, because confidence is the result of mastering challenge. Confidence is an internal state. It cannot be given, it can only be earned… thus, too little anxiety is destructive. It deprives people of the experiences that create confidence.

WaterBotics is based upon the educational theory of social constructivism,which situates learning in dynamic, iterative, and authentic contexts. 55 In a constructivist-basedenvironment, learners build upon their prior knowledge but draw upon the learning of otherswithin the community as well as new knowledge gained through experiential practice (physicaland mental manipulation of objects) and independent or guided research to integrate newknowledge and arrive at deeper understandings. 56,57,58,59,60 Students using WaterBotics test andre
prior lecture are answered at the beginning of the current lecture. Students are initially uncomfortable without graded homeworks. The reasoningcommunicated to them is that the goal of homework is to provide practice developing problem-solving skills in advanced engineering math. Doing homework for a grade encourages studentsto get a solution, but not necessarily to learn the concepts - at least not until they begin preparingfor the exam. Homework is then a practice forum where students can learn from mistakeswithout any penalties in order to master material. The instructor’s role is to guide learning byproviding feedback on concept understandings, problem solving strategies, interpretations andprofessional communication of all. Many
kids was like, “I just like software and hate hardware,” and so kind of had that view upfront. He’s like, "I don’t know how much help I’m going to be," so he already kind of checked himself out, and so he’s just kind of along for the ride, and then one of the kids was in a fraternity and a master at helping- err having other people do his work... He’s very apathetic, too, I guess. And so there just wasn’t a lot of ideas or what were interests. It was just kind of like, “You have to get it done, I don’t really care.” (Student H) The evidence of team apathy revealed a structural flaw regarding the aspect of autonomyin choosing projects. Though students had the freedom to choose a project, they were

education, yet the meaning of the term, “technology” is rarelyconsidered. “Technology” has its etymological roots in the classical Greek word techne (τέχνη).In its original usage, techne was used to describe general expertise in craft or art. Morespecifically, techne implies a combination of knowing and doing within a certain context.Consequently, techne could be used to describe artistic and engineering production that satisfiesformal and functional needs. Techne underscores the intimate relationship between art andengineering when practiced by a master hand.The concept of techne emphasizes the importance of integrating a liberal education with atechnical education. Unfortunately, engineering students frequently schedule their liberal artscourses
