Capstone Industry Sponsored Senior Projects Through Team-Based, Product Realization ActivitiesAbstractSenior capstone design courses are critical components of undergraduate education and satisfymany requirements set forth by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET). In 2005, the faculty in the Mechanical Engineering Department at CaliforniaPolytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, enhanced their capstone senior design and seniorproject experiences of their mechanical engineering students by developing a new industry-sponsored, Project-Based Learning course. Previously, students undertook individual seniorprojects of their own choosing as well as a one quarter industry sponsored course that resulted ina paper

It is an open-ended process. No matter how many changes are introduced, there will Page 14.886.7always be ample opportunity to still improve the course. This point can be considered a designreview to track changes and their effectiveness. The author hopes that this paper will help othersin the need of changing their courses.References1.
