This patternhighlights the relative benefits of capstones for developing professional skills beyondstrengthening the technical core knowledge taught in other coursework.3 Context: Capstones at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI)In the turmoil and social upheaval of 1960s, a group of faculty at WPI pioneered a substantialchange to education at WPI. At that time, education at WPI gave students little room to becreative as every student was given a prescriptive curriculum that had to be strictly followed.Engineering instruction did not include social paradigms and challenges of the time. The Plan,adopted by the faculty in April 1970, brought radical change to education at WPI. The Planwould

In that case, the impact of the program on those intentions is usually amatter of reinforcing, rather than redirecting, the paths that students are already on. Results fromthe comprehensive survey appear to confirm this. 89% of WIL participants agreed or stronglyagreed that, after the WIL program, they plan to work in their field of study – a small increasefrom the 85% who agreed or strongly agreed prior to the program. The proportion who “stronglyagreed” rose from 49 to 56%. Among “high-intensity” WIL participants, 88% agreed or stronglyagreed – which marked an increase of five percentage points from the 83% who agreed orstrongly agreed prior to the
