A Team-based ECET Capstone Project: Design and Implementation of a Solar Insolation Measurement SystemAbstractThis paper describes an example of the successful design and implementation of a Portable Self-powered Solar Insolation Measurement System. The project was designed and implemented by ateam of three students. Furthermore, the paper explores synthesis of student learning in terms ofenhancing their team work, problem-solving and analytical thinking skills. DeVry University’sElectronics Engineering Technology/Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) program seniorproject is a four-session course sequence in which students synthesize knowledge and skillslearned in the previous courses. In the first course
