table.There are some differences between the learning outcomes of the ME and ECE capstone courses,which have the potential to create minor challenges for an exhibit-driven project such asElectronic ARTrium. Because real-world mechanical engineering often involves very physicallylarge and expensive creations, such as centrifuges for pilot training, ME students at Georgia Techare not required to build prototypes for their capstone projects and are generally discouragedfrom doing so, but rather a “proof-of-concept design” is considered sufficient, as indicated inOutcome 4. On the other hand, EE and CmpE capstone students are expected to build prototypes,since a wide range of real-world ECE creations are practical to build as prototypes in the contextof
