This is telling because selectivity is highlighted by their award winning paper.Selectivity, or “putting a fence around” undergraduate engineering research projects isthe focus of this paper. Such selectivity or delimiting of projects is critical to a successfulexperience for both the faculty member and the student. Before discussing these items in detail, it may be helpful to itemize what does notconstitute a research project. Senior design projects such as capstone projects typicallyare not considered research, since they usually work on a design problem that can beotherwise classified as large, complicated class assignments

This work has been performed within a capstone design course.Most importantly, project methodology will be discussed. Both direct and indirect assessmentshave been performed. The self-assessment section generates indirect assessment data, whichcomplements the traditional direct assessment data.We discuss the capstone design program from students’ point of view, and the experience earnedin design, integration, and also in written and oral communication skills.

As the capstone studio experience of students’ academic design career, these twocapstone courses encourage students’ initiative and independence in design. Students arerequired to choose a practitioner as a reviewer for their projects. Reviewers are expected to cometo the design presentation critique at least twice during the semester. Throughout the semester,students are expected to share their information and views and to engage peers and visitingprofessionals in meaningful dialogue. The

course.IntroductionEngineering design projects that focus on real world problems can help prepare students for thechallenges that they will face later in research settings and industry. In some architectural and/orcivil engineering curricula, students are exposed to design in first-year and/or senior capstonecourses. In an existing academic curriculum that lacks first-year and/or senior capstone coursesit may not be feasible to add new courses that are entirely focused on design. As an alternative tostandalone design courses, design components can be integrated into other courses that arealready part of the curriculum.

Although the AE students must continueto design the project’s architecture, the requirements for them begin to differ during designdevelopment, placing a focus on structural systems design and calculations. Formal juries ofprofessional architects and engineers mark the transitions from one phase to another, and thecalendar allows the rare opportunity for students to respond to jury comments through designrevisions. Handouts are distributed and seminars occur weekly to provide additional informationand requirements as the designs progress.Even after many
