design lifecycle Engage in community-based educational activitiesWith these goals in mind the Capstone Experience was designed so a team of three or fourstudents would form small “consulting engineering” companies and then, over the course of twoquarters (six months), work on projects submitted by companies in the area.The student teams are mentored by an engineer or manager at the company and “managed” atour university by part-time faculty from the local industrial talent pool. The Capstone facultybrings the necessary real-world experience and soft skills, such as creating and trackingschedules that students need to execute their projects within the allotted time.In Capstone I the student team creates their development contract. It is then

just the electronics education, but also theteam engineering experience, which proved beneficial as preparation for a career in engineering.Introduction The deficit of scientists and engineers compared with the rising need for experiencedprofessionals in all technical fields reveals a need for stimulating interest in science andengineering with America’s youth. Educational programs need to find new and better ways ofengaging young minds to foster a desire to explore technical subjects to prepare the nextgeneration of engineers. One approach to cultivate this desire is to design challenging hands-onprojects that require teamwork to accomplish the design goals. By emulating the process of anengineering manufacturing team, students can

Though it isrecommended learning environments should be designed to actively engage students, professorsshould also be mindful of how these activities are perceived by the students. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the types of activities used to teach electriccircuits and students’ reported perceptions of these activities. This systematic literature review isaimed at answering the following questions: “How are engineering learning environmentsdesigned to promote students’ understanding of electric circuits? What are students’ perceptionsof the types of activities used in enhancing their understanding of circuit concepts?” Systematicliterature reviews as opposed to the

The majority of students were intending to major in Electrical Engineering andComputer Engineering, yet the program was inclusive and involved students intending to majorin Mechanical Engineering, Biology, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Kinesiology, and others.Although possibly looking at different career fields with their majors in mind, these studentshave strong desires to better prepare themselves for applying, interviewing, and experiencing aninternship. Many students had not had an internship before and many have not even had theconfidence to apply.The

negative correlation between the perception of importance and perception ofpreparation possibly could be explained by noting that the data from Table 6 seems to generallyindicate some connection between perception of importance and recognized deficiency in aparticular outcome. For all considered ABET outcomes, all pre-importance percentagesare relatively high (i.e., above 58%) whereas the pre-preparation percentages are systematically © American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 2016 ASEE Conferencelow (i.e., below 40%). In other words, students tend to assign greater importance to skills thatthey need but do not have. With this observation in mind, it is reasonable to expect a
