(UGA) College of Engineering Capstone Syllabus, acapstone is a “two-semester sequence course that is project based and focused on problemframing, stakeholder analysis, concept generation, and project management skills.” The goal “isto review concepts in the design process and tools in design methodology with a focus onengineering systems development cycle. Students working in multidisciplinary teams areassigned to design problems that are open-ended, requiring creativity and involving iterativesolutions.” It continues to state that “Design systems will work independently with a facultymentor and adopts the design that can be rapid prototyped or manufactured and evaluated againstthe design requirements. Student teams present their design
