We have also integratedthe annual open house with our continuous assessment process to identify any strengths andweaknesses of the curriculum for modifications and improvements. This tightly interwovenrelationship between the capstone course, curriculum evaluation, and MEAC participation hasserved the department well in many fronts: continuous improvement of the capstone course andcurriculum, harvesting of relevant projects for the capstone course through strong industrialinvolvement, and expanded career opportunities for our graduates.2ConclusionIn this paper, an evaluation of the senior capstone design course at our university has beenaddressed as

One of these growing alternative PDMis Design Build (DB). DB has experienced increasing popularity in the construction industryultimately for its recognized benefits, including overall reduction of project cost and completiontime, compared to traditional Design Bid Build (DBB) PDM. A quick comparison of the majordifferences between the two PDMs shows that in a traditional DBB, the owner hires an engineerto design the project and develops the

A problem-based curriculum is significantly different from the traditional disciplinecentered curriculum (Woods, 1994). This is because problem-based learning has been definedas minds-on, hands-on, focused, experiential learning (Wilkerson & Gijselaers, 1996).

Of particular interest in this context is the exposure of non-engineeringmajors (e.g., management students) to micro/nanotechnology, something they would generallynever encounter in a “normal” college undergraduate curriculum. We offer here an example of asolution to this dilemma by describing a new course introduced at Georgia Tech which dealssquarely with micro/nanotechnology at the undergraduate level, and importantly is intended toserve undergraduate students of all majors (e.g., management, engineering, sciences, etc.) and alleducational levels (freshman through senior).At

Howe and Wilbarger1 surveyed over 400 programs in the 2005 NationalSurvey of Engineering Capstone Design Courses, a follow-up to a comprehensive surveyconducted by Todd in 19942. Last year’s ASEE conference contained a number of papers oncapstone design programs3-9, with many of them focusing on assessment practices and lessonslearned.

In an effort to improvemultidisciplinary design, faculty from 3 engineering departments at UCSB met over the courseof an academic quarter to discuss a more integrated multidisciplinary capstone design programfor seniors. One complicating factor was departmental pressure to maintain the discipline-specific integrity of the engineering experience throughout the student body. Anothercomplicating factor included the disparity between course units and timelines created by eachdiscipline. In response to these challenges, we have created a supplementary multidisciplinarycapstone course (SMCC) to be coupled to the existing
