It is a high priority of the program to sustain a nimble and practicalcurriculum that is responsive to industry trends and able to cultivate the desired talent for localemployers. Hence, in this study the course redesign was purposely aligned with the programstudent learning outcomes (SLOs) and emerging industry needs. The goal was to develop studentcompetencies with effective means and better prepare them for their future career roles in aninterdisciplinary project-based

Able, and 2. Motivated to engage in engineering design tasks, whether they feel they will be 3. Successful in doing so, and how 4. Apprehensive they would be in

The students are asked a series of open-ended questions. The students are asked “If youwere course director, what would you keep in the course next year? Why?” The following arerepresentative of the answers received for this question with regard to the water turbine.  “The water turbine project- it assimilated everything and I learned more about engineering from it than anything in my engineering career so far.”  “…I'd also keep the Water Turbine Project because it allows students to enhance their skills of the machines.”  “The Water Turbine

In some colleges, the engineering curriculum is limited, withoutconsideration for the integrity of different disciplines; the so-called general education turnsout to be some superficial electives, which fail to attract students and faculty as well. The Whole T is not Solid Enough: Restrained Open InnovationEducation patterns in Chinese colleges tend to cultivate talent experts in studying the worldas it is rather than creating the world that

Theexperience has enabled students to be a part of the intellectual process of real-world applications,instill a sense of fulfillment and confidence, and impart life-long benefits. It has aided inpreparing students for advanced degrees.

Capstone faculty view the course as a means to provide students with anopportunity to apply what they have learned throughout their undergraduate career through anopen-ended design project in an environment that simulates the real world. Such an emphasissuggests a strong need for faculty themselves to have such experience or to integrate partnersfrom industry or elsewhere who can provide perspective. In terms of faculty roles, guidance andmentoring are critical skills. Capstone faculty view their role in this process as a guide to thestudents, helping them define the project scope and find
