students’ development of effectivecommunication skills along with technical skill development. The senior capstone report oftenplays an instrumental role in this development, since it comprises both the final assessment ofstudent communication performance and also students’ most significant opportunity for activelearning of in-discipline communication skills. Peer review has been proposed as an ideal meansto provide students with much-needed feedback toward this communication learning. Peerreview also has the potential to increase students’ interpersonal communication skills andmetacognition, provided that the review activity is structured to encourage constructivecontributions and reflection[1]. The goal of this work-in-progress project is to

the fall semester, two of the three projects continued as capstone projects. At RowanUniversity, capstone (Junior/Senior Engineering Clinic) projects are inspired by a mix ofindustry-sponsored activities, professor research activities, professional society competitions,service learning activities, and student or faculty led entrepreneurial ideas and are conducted byteams of junior and senior students. A unique aspect of the projects that were fostered from thesummer program is that they were student discovered during the immersion process, rather thanindustry, research and/or faculty driven like many capstone experiences.OUTCOMES / RESULTSTwo primary deliverables in the summer program were completed in pairs for each of threedifferent needs

clinical trials, economics, ethics, and regulatorystrategies. Throughout the second year, students will continue working on their research project,with the culmination of the second year being a summer clinical or industrial immersion relevantto the project. In addition to immersion experiences, we are planning tracks: research,entrepreneurship, professional school, and industry; while these are at early stages indevelopment, they are being developed to integrate with other campus activities.Beginning junior year, students will continue undergraduate research while being extensivelytrained in engineering design, in contrast to traditional education which focuses primarily ondesign in the senior capstone course. The coursework for this year is not

during the internship, write a finalreport on their capstone project, and deliver a final poster presentation of their capstone project.Rubrics are provided for the students so they understand the expectations for each deliverable.Upon completion of the program, students will be able to 1. Demonstrate broad technical skills 2. Think critically & solve problems 3. Discuss current research 4. Discuss the history, theory, & ethics of stem cell investigation 5. Present and communicate effectively 6. Network with professionals in the fieldInternship MatchingThe centerpiece of this program is the 9-month internship that our students embark on. As such,we worked to develop a formal procedure to facilitate the pairing process to

through a variety of initiatives she is helping to bring to Upstate South Carolina, one of which is the NIH- and VentureWell-funded De- FINE Program. Breanne obtained her B.S. in May 2012 (research focus: nanomedicine technology) and her M.S. degree in August 2013 (research focus: glenoid loading and stability of the inlay verus onlay shoulder system) both from the Clemson University bioengineering department. Breanne was a four year varsity collegiate athlete, rowing for the Clemson University Women’s Rowing Team, where she learned how to foster her team-centered leadership. Breanne moved on to lead her senior design capstone team to a 1st Place finish in the 2012 NCIIA BMEStart Undergraduate Design Competition
