project as a teaching tool. Todd et al3presented the results of a survey performed in the nineties about the use of capstone engineeringcourses. The results indicate that they are widely used to increase student awareness of soft skillsand as tools to subject them to “real world” open-ended problems. Napper and Hale4 presentedthe use of capstone senior projects as assessment tools for engineering programs. They discussedthe ABET requirement for the program outcomes and how a senior project serves as a goodindicator for student ability to work in teams and use critical thinking to solve open-endedproblems.Design projects were also used as a tool to enhance the learning in undergraduate courses.

The initial design course utilized the projects toexperientially develop important skillsets, such as the design process, project management,verbal communication, teamwork, social considerations, and the application of scientific andmathematic principles. These skills were expected to be developed by the students, with

ofimportant behaviors. Recommendations include incorporating a professional spine in thecurriculum, whereby students may have an opportunity to integrate their knowledge in acontextual environment. A second recommendation outlines the need for students to makeconnections between theory and practice and to develop the thinking skills required forengineering practice. This requires an inductive, as opposed to a deductive, approach to teachingand learning.The integration of professional identity, knowledge and skills requires that students have anopportunity to experience engineering practice, through so-called approximations to practice.Often this means exposing students to laboratory or design project teaching methods (they aredifferent). A recent
physical manipulative tools in teaching/learning environmentsLaboratories and visual computer simulations have been found to be effective in helping studentsunderstand abstract concepts (Zacharia & Olympiou, 2011). However, it has been suggested thatvisual simulations alone may not be fully supportive for some students learning these concepts(Chi, 2008). In addition, most of the currently available simulations focus on the sense of sightand hearing, and very little on the sense of touch, which is one of the most common ways forpeople to interact with physical objects (Thurfjell, McLaughlin, Mattsson & Lammertse, 2002;Han & Black, 2011). Moreover, the availability of laboratories and equipment necessary to carryout physical experiments
