Throughout the semester capstone teams give three formal project presentationsto peers, clients, and faculty. Presentations include a project design proposal, preliminary designreview, and final design review. The final design presentation includes a completed budget, billof material, CAD models, wiring schematics, and custom fabrication needs, among otherrequirements. The second term focuses primarily on fabrication, testing, and design validationwith the required hardware deliverable showcased during the end of the term.WorkshopsA just-in-time approach was adopted for delivering content to students in the form of

Top and bottom moments werestrongly tied to the social dimension of work: top moments were typically related tocamaraderie with peers or recognition coming from managers, and bottom experiences withan absence of social connections in addition to falling short of one’s own expectations.The results suggest that managers should be cognizant of the importance of social connectionsand feedback cycles with their young engineers who are looking for guidance and validationof their efforts.

Thishas been driven by the need to develop a wide range of skills such as innovativeness, creativity,and problem-solving in engineering students to succeed in today’s technology-driven economy.Increasingly, graduates are expected to adapt their complex problem-solving skills to align withthe modern-day multidisciplinary practice of engineering [1], know how to integrate theirscience and technical training to enhance industrial practice [2], and successfully navigate futurechallenges through continued innovation [1].

Martin acknowledged a trend in computing education where most software thatstudents write for programming assignments “never see the light of day.” Consequently, Martinargued that “toy projects” that have no real customers or use outside of the classroom areharmful [8].Likewise, Nurkkala and Brandle assessed common gaps between common software engineering“toy projects” and real software practice, explaining: A student project is just that—a project. It is not a product in any meaningful, commercial sense. Such a nonproduct escapes the scrutiny of sales, marketing, and customer relations.

This prepared for developing the second aspect: “Please devise political meansfor changing the habits and taken-for-granted normalcy of customers.” In comparison to previousclasses, the students of the 2014 and 2015 classes were better prepared on average to think aboutthe reasons and motives of customers.

The operationalizationof the BFPT as well as the other SCCT constructs are described in the following.Despite its shortness the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) from Gosling et al.

Gosling suggests using the TIPI, if a very short measure isneeded due to time constraints or if you “can tolerate the somewhat diminished psychometricproperties associated with very brief measures” [1]. Also, Gosling found that TIPI has “(a)convergence with widely used Big-Five measures in self, observer, and peer reports, (b) test–retest reliability, (c
