The integrated activities wouldalso improve syllabus material drawn from surveys to afford the students’ subject mastery.I. IntroductionAcross engineering departments in universities, the Capstone Design course is arguably the mostinfluential course for engineering students. Fundamentally, the Capstone Design course is thesummative assessment of the engineering curriculum, which pushes students to reach the createlevel in the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy [1].

Peer Project Management for Capstone Design TeamsAbstractThe mechanical and mechatronic engineering programs at California State University Chicoconclude with a robust, externally funded, two-semester capstone design experience. Students inboth majors work in interdisciplinary teams on year-long design projects sponsored by industrialpartners. Project teams are assigned a faculty advisor whose role [1] is multi-faceted, but doesnot include day-to-day project management or responsibility for project success.Design projects in industry typically have an assigned project manager (PM) with responsibilityfor overall project success as well as a lead role in initiating, planning, executing, monitoring,and controlling the project

Thetheme of innovation appeared in about 10% of responses, providing support for item #1. Twoother themes appeared in the data, which dealt with creativity (16% of responses) andextracurricular learning (17% of responses).

Pedagogicalimplications of eEngineering, and eDesign in particular, are yet to be examined thoroughly.Some crucial issues must be addressed as to whether and how human mind can transform fromthe traditional approaches of knowledge acquisition and construction to new paradigms wherephysical presence becomes less relevant to the learning process in order to gain a wider scope ofthe learning subject.7.

Theenthusiasm, engagement, and impact of the pilot program caused the course instructors toseriously consider developing a high school outreach component to the UAHuntsville IPTProgram. Thus the InSPIRESS initiative was created. InSPIRESS is in some ways an extensionof the freshman level design experiences that many engineering colleges have implemented overthe last 20 years.5,7,8,9,10 The purpose of these classes is to help the participants better understandwhat engineers do. InSPIRESS seeks to do this during the high school years so that students gaina better understanding
