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

Nevertheless,few studies have specifically explored engineering students’ epistemological thinkingand the associated factors in the context of senior design.

Considering its fairly simple structure, it can be an attractive designproject for senior undergraduate engineering students. It provides sufficient technical challengesand ample enlightening opportunities to allow students to apply their knowledge in fluids,materials and manufacturing, CAD/CAM, and economics. With this consideration, the college ofengineering decided to design and manufacture a subsonic wind tunnel. It was planned as seniorcapstone design project that spanned three consecutive years.

Engineering instructors at the University of Waterloo have identified a lack of opportunitiesfor students to practice their need finding skills prior to fourth year. As a result, a set of needfinding instructional activities were conducted in-class for one term. The objective of thisresearch is to conduct evidence-based program improvement by identifying the teachingpractices that improve need finding competencies in engineering graduates. More specifically, inthis ongoing study, the authors explore how students identify, select, and justify their capstoneproject problem; and
