limited to, setup reduction,ergonomics analyses, machine specification, process improvements, layout, information flow,quality analyses and mistake-proofing. Small weekly assignments are made which generallysupport the overall final project results.The capstone design course is typically assigned three to five outcome items for assessment eachsemester. These assignments are made by the IE Department’s Curriculum, Assessment, andStandard Committee (CASCOM) and are announced mid-semester. Assignments are largelybased on the need at the time and the available data at the time.
