Education, 2017 Benefits and Challenges of Transitioning to Community Service Multidisciplinary Capstone ProjectsAbstractSignificant research has shown the positive benefit of service and community-based learning onstudent diversity, engagement, and retention. Elements of service-learning have beenincorporated across disciplines into traditional classes as well as capstone experiences. Whileproviding significant benefits, challenges also exist in managing relationships with externalclients, finding administrative support for these experiences, and engaging students in moreopen-ended projects.Recognizing these benefits, new capstone projects have been introduced at our mid-sized mid-Atlantic college over the last two

. This goal is achieved throughengaging engineering students in design exercises and experiences throughout their academicundergraduate careers. The CASCADE project provides student support in an innovativeconfiguration of cascaded peer-mentoring. This program exposes freshman students to theengineering design process with vertically aligned design experiences through the sophomore andjunior years. Cascading vertically, undergraduate seniors mentor juniors, juniors mentorsophomores, and sophomores mentor freshmen. The objectives of the CASCADE project are to:1) infuse concepts of the design process across all four levels of the engineering undergraduatecurriculum (i.e., freshman through senior), 2) increase first-year, second-year, and third

Two student surveys and one end-of-quarter grading rubric are used to assess the merits of the coupled course design through thefirst quarter of a three quarter capstone series. Results of the surveys show that the SMCCcourse structure resolves student meeting scheduling problems by mandating attendance andretains departmental rigor by having advisors directly assigned in the departmental capstonecourse. We found that highly motivated teams with defined projects thrive with this model butthat industry-defined projects require increased communication for all involved faculty andindustry

Sustainability, living better on less, and team projects that directlyimpact people’s lives speak to this generation of engineering students. Energy usage is one of themost critical engineering challenges we face today. Global warming due to harmful emissionsfrom burning fossil fuels and rising gas prices as well as national security issues have drivenpeople to look for new ways to reduce their fuel consumption and to live better on less.

Withan industry interface, the capstone is critical to enrich the student experience in complex building designthrough simulating the project to be “more real world” than traditional capstones. This capstonedistinguishes itself by the level of relatively independent work done by the student teams (vs. teaching bythe faculty), heavy industry practitioner interactions, mentoring roles of the faculty and lastly, utilizingreal industry projects
