This innovative approach can be used together with the traditionalcapstone course to enhance the problem solving skills of students. This knowledge may howeverserve as the experience for the capstone course for Construction Management students.Construction Management students are required to take capstone course in their final year ofstudies to prepare them for the construction industry.Conclusion Page 22.616.11This paper shows that by introducing

Note that in addition to gaining technical knowledge, the students also learned team collaboration, which is essential not only in course and capstone projects, but also in their future career.(3) Hands-on and real-world oriented: The summer program encouraged the students to solve problems that are practical, meaningful, and with real-world implications. With the help of the faculty mentors, the students had the chance to tinker and dabble various prototypes until the perfection of the final product is reached.(4) It was offered online instead of face-to-face: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our campus was

While the rubric was designed to allowfor assessment of a variety of project types, it has only been applied to civil engineering studentdesign projects.5The rubric includes two four-point rating scales to aid evaluators in judging capstone reportsbased on the 16 sustainable design criteria. The earned points scale [0-3] captures the extent towhich students consider each sustainable design criterion in their capstone projects. Evaluatorsassign a score of 0 to projects that show no evidence of incorporating the design criterion, whilea score of 3 is assigned if the project shows evidence of extensive criterion application. Thepotential points scale [0-3] describes the extent to which each sustainable design criterion

In the past when Dr. Oakes would reviewstandard student capstone engineering projects, that is non-service learning, he would oftenencounter projects that didn’t work. The students could show that they worked hard on theirprojects but many aspects of their projects, and much of their understanding of the technologies,were incomplete. Dr. Oakes would contrast these experiences to his experiences reviewingservice learning projects. The service learning projects were almost always complete andworking, and the students had full and deep understanding of the technologies. The reasons forthis difference are likely twofold. First, the students

Our Senior Capstone Design Course has been established to demonstrate the valueand ingenuity which can be derived from cooperative design efforts among traditionalengineering disciplines.The projects for the senior design program are suggested by the faculty, industry, and academicundergraduate research through engineering grant contests. The requirements are that the projectbe open-ended, multidisciplinary, and have non-engineering constraints (e.g., economic,environmental, aesthetic). The students are given a choice of 10 to 15 projects (depending uponclass enrollment) and write a proposal stating their top choice.

The graduate program has grown from six students in the 2004-05 academic year to 22students in 2009-10. Much of this growth can be attributed to the broad array of technical topicsand ability to recruit undergraduates by exposing them to challenging topics that give them aglimpse of masters-level topics. The primary mode for providing this exposure has been thesenior capstone project course sequence1, but additionally, there have been several independentstudy projects that have shown undergraduate ET students the challenges that lie in the graduateprogram.The Rapid Center houses a wide array of high-tech machinery, such as rapid prototyping(Stratasys
