for, and an ability to engage inlifelong learning. In most of the Engineering Technology (ET) programs, capstone projects aredesigned for students to utilize their technical knowledge, problem solving skills, and projectmanagement skills to develop a product or a system related to their discipline. This paper presentsa methodology of utilizing the capstone course as a vehicle to enhance and assess student’s lifelong learning skills. During the semester long course, one student team signed up to learn thesubject of adhesive technology that is not taught in the current curriculum. The student teamdesigned and built an adhesive test apparatus that can be used for outreach activities. Anotherstudent team was assigned to learn rapid prototyping
