We recently merged a few capstone design teams with the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) student competitions. The outcome and benefit of the change are clear. The students are more motivatedand willing to adopt new technologies in their project courses. Through competitions, students learned how tocomplete the project in the context of system. The paper describes the technical details that the

surveys fromgraduating seniors and alumni to focus on hands-on experience in the undergraduate program. Alongwith that, there has also been a focus on participating in competitions such as Shell-Eco Marathon byseniors for their capstone project. An opportunity arose to address both these issues by building anengine/chassis dynamometer.A funding request has been granted by a robotics company paving the way for design and build of anengine/chassis dynamometer. The dynamometer, in its first iteration, cost about $10,000 but a reviseddesign costs under $8,000. The dynamometer has been designed for Shell Eco Marathon competitionbut has found its uses in multiple projects over the past year, including a summer toboggan redesign fora local state park

D 0-59 FTwo mid-term exams are introduced to cover more topics, so students have a better and clearer idea aboutdifferent projects to work on. The major change is to introduce a Final project to be demonstrated on relevanttopics. The main goal is to generate ideas for a capstone project that is required of students and is nowintegrated in the new curriculum (ETEE 4099). Each student submits HWs (10%) based on the lectures givenon Number systems, Gates, Boolean Algebra, De-Morgan’s, Logic Minimization, Latches, Counters, ShiftRegisters, different applications like MUX/DEMUX, Encoder/Decoder, Half/Full Adder etc. The students sitfor two mid-term exams (each 20%) and a final exam (20%). The first mid-term exam is

shown in Table 1. The total number of the enrolled students was 193, with 131 studentsresponding. The average course grade was 3.89 out of 5.0 scale, and the average numerical gradeearned by the students was 2.95 out of 4.0 scale. From the students’ feedback, some of themhave shown positive appreciation of lab organization that helped their learning saying the labmaterial was very well thought out and interesting. After they take these courses, they continuewith their education with other courses such as Capstone project courses. From their verbalcommunication, I have heard positive outcomes from the term project experience.IV.

, fabrication, and use of a bench-scale hybrid automotive powertrain.Although not a competition per se, students in this project were immersed in a hands-onengineering project and developed a test stand for use by subsequent students.Senior capstone projects are a natural fit for these types of projects, as the courses attempt tobring together all the fundamental learning into one design exercise. Earlier experiences are alsorelated to this work and provide a proving ground and student recruitment tool for senior projectselection. Such work is performed by Singh Chawla and Leonhardt [5] who describe a projectthat links junior and senior work to the optimization of an FSAE chassis.

thechallenge were chosen to be interdisciplinary to bring the students to a realistic mindsetand learn skills that are normally needed in addressing real life challenges.Our curriculum for the bachelor of science degree embodies several classes that studentswork in as a group with a client. Also, there are other courses where students may workas individuals on complex projects. Some students work on capstone thesis that mayrequire certain sophistication that match research conducted in faculty labs; see Figure (1)for examples. What distinguishes the cases we are addressing here is the diversity of thegroup, coming from international universities and the short time to achieve the goals forthe project, thus introducing elements of urgency and
