The METM program curriculum offers courses that focus on Project Management,Strategic Planning and Management, Financial Resource Management, etc., that are included inthe Engineering Management Body of Knowledge (EMBOK)[3]. At the conclusion of theMETM program, students must research, design, and showcase a real-world project that requirescomprehensive application of the knowledge they have learned throughout the program, in orderto bring significant impact to the stakeholders of their chosen organizations. The Capstone course spans over two semesters, Fall (Capstone I) and Spring (CapstoneII); it was first offered in 2019, and in 2023, the fifth student cohort started their

The clinic of law ormedicine is sometimes practiced as a capstone educational experience in fields of engineering.Having engineering students work together on a project is becoming a prominent pedagogicalapproach in upper-level engineering undergraduate courses and graduate courses. This directlysupports the professional practice and professional formation for many fields of engineering andaddresses many ABET student learning outcomes.A multiple case-study approach was used to apply and illustrate a “product”-based learningframework

peer feedback comments? 2. What are the components of quality peer feedback, and how effective are existing rubrics in measuring the quality of peer feedback comments?II. Background A. Role of Feedback in PBL Courses Project-based learning (PBL) courses are a common pedagogical approach used to teach engineering design [13], especially in senior capstone and first-year cornerstones. The team- and project-focused nature of PBL courses helps students develop essential professional skills such as communication [14], conflict management [15], and collaboration with diverse team members [16]. Another unique aspect of the PBL format is the team dynamics in every project group. Each team forms a culture and workflow unique

It promotescreativity, team members' understanding, a constructive working environment, and diminishingconflict [9].Several studies have found different results regarding face-to-face and online teamwork.

offers a valuable framework for investigating various behaviors, it is importantto acknowledge its limitations in capturing the potential influence of power dynamics and otherconfounding elements. For example, power imbalances within a capstone engineering teamcould shape individuals’ behaviors in ways that extend beyond their personal beliefs, which maynot be fully captured by the RAA’s focus on individual beliefs and intentions. Similarly,contextual factors may influence behaviors in ways that are not adequately represented by theRAA. In the capstone engineering example, project complexity or time pressures could be suchfactors. To address these concerns, researchers could incorporate qualitative methods andcontextual factor measures, such as

However, the definition does insist on hands-on activities, so it isdesigned to exclude activities that are purely computer-based.Other works have other implicit definitions of laboratory activities. Some works center the ideaof constructivism in discussing laboratories, and argue that a laboratory activity is one thatprovides rich information for constructing knowledge [11]. Others simply lament the lack ofspecificity in defining laboratory activities [12].Consequently, categorizing laboratory activities or describing universal features of laboratoryactivities is a challenge.
