and non-business courses. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Generating Start-up Relevance in Capstone Projects1. IntroductionAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires students to complete acapstone design experience that prepares them for engineering practice through team-basedprojects incorporating the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work [1]- [4].While capstone course pedagogy differs widely from one program to another, in all cases,students are expected, through the process of completing the capstone project, to understanddesign constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, ethics, and social impact. Inaddition, students are

design and fabricate a low-cost transtibial prosthetic limb.Capstone projects typically span one to two semesters. In many cases, a single student designgroup is only able to concentrate on the design aspects of a capstone design project conductedwithin a single semester. In two-semester projects, the second semester typically provides thesame student design group the necessary time to build and test the design they completed duringthe first semester. Unlike these typical capstone projects, the authors’ prosthetic capstone designproject spanned four years and involved multiple student design groups. Students in the first-yeargroup conducted a feasibility study and built a basic prototype of the design. The iterativedesign process then started

objective of the present paper is to describe students’ self-regulation while workingon their senior capstone design projects. The specific focus of this study was to understand howstudents manage their projects with their teammates on three major issues: Team Management,Resources Management and Time Management. Quantitative data associated with student Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) on project management were collected using our Engineering DesignMetacognitive Questionnaire (EDMQ) survey instrument. Three hundred and fourteen studentsparticipated in the study. Data collected were evaluated quantitatively by comparing the meanvalue of each item from the same project-management-related issues (i.e., teamwork, time, andresources) across SRL episodes

Design for Homeless (DfH): A capstone experienceAbstractCapstone projects are usually designed to promote critical thinking, problem-solving, andcreativity using the knowledge and skills students acquire in their coursework. This paperpresents the initial findings of a two-semester-long, industry-facilitated, and collaborativecapstone project in Spring and Fall 2018. A team of construction management and interiordesign students at California State University, Fresno was tasked to design and build a temporaryhome prototype for a local homeless shelter to raise awareness of an urgent social and economicissue in the community. The new design aims to create a more comfortable and upliftingenvironment for the homeless. The project provides an

experientially, on timelines typically longer than available for capstone experiences.As a result, students often lack the time to test or iterate on their design. Because the capstoneexperience is at the end of the undergraduate education, students taking analysis based coursesdo not connect their coursework to design, the key engineering discipline. Additionally, at someuniversities, capstone projects are department specific and projects do not build on anunderstanding of the inter-relationship of different disciplines.In this paper the authors discuss their experience and lessons learned from creating a multi-yearintegrated system design (ISD) project. The experience seeks to mediate the above concerns bybeing multi-disciplinary and engaging all
