becoupled to the departmental capstone courses to promote quick adoptions of multidisciplinarycapstone projects without sacrificing discipline specific rigor. 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

Our approach integrates SE fundamentals into the course ashands-on engineering principles and uses the structure of the course itself to apply SE to design.The approach is applicable to one and two semester course formats with either "paper" orhardware/software design projects although our experience suggests the most effective methodinvolves hands-on projects that have to demonstrate a working capability.By structure

However, addition change is being considered to embracethe maker approach, encourages people to understand how things work, to experiment, inventand redesign things through multiple iterations, to democratize and understand processes ofengineering, science, and innovation, and to commercialize new products by developing andtesting prototypes quickly and in a cost-effective manner.
