method but often they arenot exposed to design methods until their capstone senior project. We have developed aseven-step method that guides students through projects and enables them to achieve theskills we have identified as essential to their success as global engineers. The stepsinclude 1) identifying user’s needs, 2) developing product concepts, 3) translatingperformance requirements from the language of the customer into technical functionalrequirements, 4) brainstorming several conceptual designs and choosing the optimumsolution, 5) developing a detailed design solution, 6) fabricating a prototype and testingto ensure that it meets the performance requirements and 7) determining the commercialfeasibility of the design solution.

the ‘perfect’ capstone project that captures the student’s interest and personal passion,and incorporates the fundamental engineering knowledge they have gained over the past 3 or soyears, is always challenging. As students master the fundamentals in their engineering education,the senior capstone project offers an opportunity to students to work on a problem that mighthave driven them to study engineering in the first place or, now armed with the new formalengineering knowledge, apply it to seeking solutions in areas of personal interest, experience andpassion. The challenge here as a faculty advisor, it to work with the student to develop a viableproject, which meets the educational outcomes, provides an exciting experience, and fits in

discussions after each alternating 12 week co-op term with their corporatesponsor.One of the most reoccurring challenges that our students often face in their co-op jobs, seniorthesis projects, and other capstone course projects is how to design stronger and lighter products.The driver behind this persistent question, obviously, is the never-ending demand of higher fuelefficiency in transportation industries, and more mass and cost reduction in all engineering fields.Often our students are asked by their industrial sponsors to investigate the use of alternativematerials in current or emerging designs. Even though there is no straightforward answer to sucha question, composite materials do offer unique solutions in developing stronger and

of PA often uses senior Capstone Design projects as a recruitment tool, but otherinstitutions [16], [17] highlight undergraduate research to draw good students. We would like toincrease our undergraduate research activity to diversify faculty activity and provide studentswith valuable research experiences that may indicate that graduate school is right for them. Eganet al. [18] explains that participation in undergraduate research encourages pursuit of moreadvanced degrees. Even if students do not move into graduate/professional programs,undergraduate research teaches students critical thinking skills necessary for solving open-endedproblems [12], [19]. If done well, there are clearly many advantages of undergraduate research.Independent
