Engineering programs throughout the country havedeveloped a variety of methods to hone these professional skills and a capstone project experienceis typical. The structure of these courses has evolved to incorporate changes in pedagogy,technology, needs of industry and changes in ABET accreditation requirements. There arenumerous examples in Engineering Education literature of successes in capstone courses includingtips and cases studies of programs running effective capstone projects. For example, Yost and Lane[1] reported the evolution of the civil engineering design capstone experience at a researchuniversity, discussed measures to assess
