thinking programs, particularly those which have been implemented for several years.This research could garner additional information about what practices and policies work overtime and for the greatest number of students. In addition, future research might gain additionalinformation from interviewing faculty and teaching assistants engaged in implementing designthinking curriculum. This research might be particularly helpful as we think about ways to 9improve how we introduce design thinking to undergraduate engineering student audiences andtrain faculty to create their courses with design thinking processes in mind. This may be ofparticular interest

Paper ID #26080Board 59: Work in Progress: Industry-based Team Program Reviews forCapstone Design teamsDr. Rachana Ashok Gupta, North Carolina State University Dr. Rachana A Gupta is currently a Teaching Associate professor and Associate Director of ECE Se- nior Design Program. She teaches and mentors several senior design students on industry-sponsored projects (On average 12 / semester) to successful completion of an end product. These projects include all aspects of System Engineering: concept design, product design and design trade-offs, prototyping and testing (circuit design, PCB, mechanical fabrication, algorithm
, Introductionto Project Development, with two additional goals in mind: 1. Teach students design and project development well before they encounter them in their Capstone projects. 2. Provide an environment for experiential learning where integration of various strands of electrical and computer engineering disciplines can happen.Similarly to the first goal, some programs offer so-called “cornerstone” courses [3], but themajority of these seem to be freshman courses aiming to provide motivation for potentialengineering students while providing somewhat authentic experiences. These freshman students,however, will typically not have enough technical background to accomplish the second goal. Inour curriculum, students enrolled in ECE 211/212
