fordeveloping and working to their own project-specific schedule to meet the prescribed milestones.Starting from the business stage gate model, students developed a list of tasks necessary to reachthe high-level milestones, estimated durations for those tasks, considered predecessors andsuccessors, formed an initial plan, and assigned individual responsibilities. To facilitate thisprocess, the instructors provided templates for the project management plan document, weeklyprogress reports, and project update meetings.The Design Control Pillar focused on gathering customer requirements, developing designrequirements, and creating and verifying design solutions. After identifying customerrequirements during an initial kick-off meeting with their sponsor

Each student design team has a designated faculty advisor who serves astheir “director” and students lead regular meetings with their industry client through the courseof the project. Class sessions are termed “morning meetings” and the course has an employeehandbook rather than a syllabus. The students are guided through the engineering design process,teams typically brainstorm and select a design in the first semester and manufacture and test theirdesign in the spring semester. The first semester concludes with teams presenting their design totheir client and holding a manufacturing review, a test plan review, and a proposed budgetreview to

inconsultation with their tech demo committee. The tech demo committee was a consistent groupof 4-5 faculty who established requirements for the tech demo and evaluated the team’sperformance during the technical demonstration. The first tech demo helps ensure that studentsorder parts and start assembly (of at least the critical sub-components) of the end product. Onepractical benefit is that delays from out-of-stock parts, inappropriate designs and flawedprocesses are addressed earlier, and thus less likely to delay the project. In addition, new andreplacement parts with long shipping times can often be ordered over winter break, improvingoverall time management. The tech demo emphasizes to students that planning out a design onpaper, and implementing

Assessment ToolsVarious assessment tools are planned to assess the research questions and to help improve theimplementation of the peer mentorship model for future semesters. Specifically, a pre and post-activity survey was designed, and some of the questions are listed in the Appendix for both thefirst-year design and senior design cohorts.

Since these topics are mostfrequently covered, capstone instructors must generally feel that they are important. The topicsthemselves are not TCs, but they are a promising set of topics within which to look for TCs.Communication, elements of design process (planning/scheduling, concept generation, anddecision making), and teamwork emerged as common themes. Communication is a topic thatmany students struggle with, and good communication enables success in nearly all other aspectsof capstone design. It was identified by Capstone-to-Work researchers ([5], [6]) as a topic thatstudents struggle with at work and one where they rely on their

subproblems and deciding how to approach each one. This topic is especially important because many engineers work on design teams, and themembers of a team need to work together to carry out the design process. An ad hoc approach toplanning the design process will create confusion and increase the risks of project failure (e.g.,poor product or system performance as well as cost and schedule overruns). Despite the growing need for design process planning skills, existing engineering educationprograms fail to provide opportunities for engineering students to learn these meta-reasoning skills.Many engineering students learn only standard product and systems development processes [2, 3].In a typical engineering design course, the students follow

Among the non-technicalskills desired by employers are effective communication, delivering high-quality presentations,project planning, teamwork, and time management [30]. In the process of their design work,students learn to communicate effectively with their peers and mentors through multiple modessuch as written reports, presentations, in-person work sessions, team meetings and other informalconversations [31].

The projects that they will face during both their academic andpost-academic careers will involve problem-solving and critical thinking, and the unique skillsand perspectives of each team member are necessary to arrive at effective solutions.

The data set will be modified basedon the results of the pilot study.Because our results suggest that students do not consistently engage with empathy throughoutthe design thinking process, in future studies we propose a design thinking model thatencourages more sustained empathy throughout the iterative process (see Fig. 3).Fig. 3: Empathy-based Design Thinking adapted from the Stanford Model for Design Thinking[6].
