Upon completing her doctoral program, Caroline plans to work in the intersection between entrepreneur- ship, engineering, and education.Johannah Daschil Johannah Daschil is a senior engineering major minoring in political science and math at James Madison University. Daschil is a continuously curious individual who is always asking question of how and why. This curiosity has driven Daschil to explore the bridges between engineering and political science, par- ticularly the influence of gender in the decision making processes of both disciplines. Daschil currently works on a research project to understand how learning occurs in informal learning processes

How do students navigate a fabrication project in the makerspace? How and towhat degree do they engage in design? How do students perceive their design processes anddecisions? Broadly this research looks at undergraduate student experiences of navigatinginterest-driven fabrication projects in a university makerspace.

Emphasis is on teamwork, communications skills, and computer-aided analytical tools. Activities include prototypebuilding and testing with industrial collaboration. As students complete this course beforechoosing a major in the College of Engineering, the technical content is general and does notfocus on a particular engineering discipline. In contrast, the senior capstone design courserequires students to apply the tools acquired in both required courses and technical electiveswithin our department. By blending professional engineering topics and project activity, theexisting capstone design course dilutes both these components

Thecapstone design project serves as a bridge to help students migrate from an academicenvironment to an industrial environment. Any school normally don‟t have the full capability toconstruct and physically test each capstone design project due to limited equipment, limitedfunds and limited time, which is the primary difference between the industrial environment andthe academic environment. Due to this defect in the academic environment, there are twocommon major problems in lots of capstone designs.
