ensuring achievement of these competencies. In order to facilitate transfer oflearning from the classroom to the workforce, Bransford, Brown, and Cocking8 suggest thatstudents initially be provided with opportunities for working on scaled-down versions ofproblems. These practical ideas can be used in the design of technology capstone projects.The capstone project at Eastern Kentucky University is a synthesis experience, whereinstudents are required to select a topic for independent research and implementation. This one-semester course provides students with an opportunity to design, develop, test, troubleshoot,and manage an integrated research- and laboratory-based project in an area of their interest.Students deploy their projects in homes, work

Traditionally these classeshave been the way into engineering thinking and problem solving. The problems that theengineering education community is facing is how to make these classes more interesting,expand students’ thinking process, bring in a more systems level thinking, and help studentsappreciate what is engineering all at the same time. The above challenges together with thetypical characteristics, behavior, and attitudes of the new students actually increase theimportance of the

In the secondproject, students are allowed to pick their own topic, which gives them the autonomy to choosetheir own project formulations and strategies, which in turn increases their motivation.Project based learning at the individual course level is familiar in engineering education.

With one exception, only one AE student across three different projectstook one or more SE courses, and none of the SE students pursued deep specializations withinAE sub-disciplines. Certainly the AE students learned something about SE by working with thelarger group, but their learning in SE did not get much further than hardware integration
