In modern engineering it is quitelikely that an operational engineer may be required to be a manager with the skills to thinkbroadly and act responsively. In fact, many professional engineers become involved inmanagement early in their working life, and find their career development path leading tosenior management positions.In these senior roles, they find that their skills as communicators and conceptual planners canoften be more demanding than their engineering skills. Quite often their decision-makingincludes dealing with uncertainty, where the time

The design experience they complete in the course has the potentialto influence their career trajectory, satisfaction with the academic program, and self-efficacy.The challenge then becomes determining the best capstone model to maximize this potential. Acomprehensive understanding of various capstone course models will help determine if there isone best model or if it may depend on characteristics of the program such as geographic location,student body size, and faculty size.Literature ReviewPast research on capstone design courses in engineering has focused on how to best structure thecourse to serve the educational needs of the students, as well as

A key takeaway from the paper is our program is designed to intellectually stretch our students consistently by requiring coursework in some area the student has not been in before. We believe that our curricular design will develop students who are more nibble, less averse to ambiguity, and with a leaning to remaining a life long learner over their careers. This is an unproven
