The tool is beingused in the capstone design course sequence, and the results from three semesters ofimplementation are reported and briefly discussed. Compared to the previous method of peer-evaluation alone, the new tool allows each sub-outcome to be measured and evaluated.IntroductionMechanical engineering seniors at Lawrence Technological University (LTU) complete acapstone design project: either an SAE collegiate design series (CDS) competition or anindustry-sponsored project (ISP). These capstone projects serve as a summative assessment,bringing together machine design, thermo-fluids, manufacturing, and mechatronics topics into areal-world design experience.

the new introductory course, andthe first cohort that did. All data evaluated their skill levels during their senior year capstonedesign experience. Therefore, the survey was a direct opportunity to assess the result of an earlyintroduction to the mechanical engineering profession and design process.The paper assesses the effect of the Intro to ME course on student grasp of the design processand their ability to apply the process to their capstone design project. Overall results were mixedwith faculty indicating that students who completed the Intro to ME course differentially appliedthe design process but also had fewer gaps in their knowledge of the tools associated with thedesign process. Furthermore, there were no indications that the
