Teams are composed of 4-5 graduate students from different disciplinesand local community partners invested in solving big societal challenges.

Interestingly, although enhanced fabrication skills was a key learningobjective, no students indicated that this was a primary reason to enroll in the course, nor didthey view fabrication skills as directly benefitting them in either college coursework or in theengineering profession. Although they believed the construction experience might help with asenior capstone project, they saw fabrication as disparate from engineering practice, which theyviewed as heavily focused on theory and application. Rather, they believed the soft skillsembedded in the project – such as time management, scheduling, and communication – were thekey takeaways for

engineering students are required to complete a one- or two-semesterlong capstone course sequence that emphasizes integration of concepts and material fromprevious classes in the completion of a substantial design project. Education researchers havealso recognized the potential benefits design experiences can offer at earlier stages of anengineering curriculum, including introductory level courses [24, 35]. An important benefit ishelping to make clear to students at an early stage the importance of and linkage between thesupporting math and science courses they are required to take and the engineering field whichthey have chosen to study [10, 25, 32].

junior years is dominated by coretechnical subjects such mechanics of materials, aerodynamics, propulsion, and controls. Ideally,these engineering science courses give students the theoretical background that they can apply inengineering design courses, on student project teams, and as a practicing engineer. However, itcan be easy to teach engineering science courses with little connection to the practice ofengineering. One way to make the connection between engineering science content andengineering practice is to frame this technical content as mathematical models that describenatural phenomena under certain simplifying assumptions. With this framing, the purpose ofengineering science courses shifts from memorizing formulas and applying them

dedication from these students, along with their rigorousresearch endeavors, equates to the workload typically associated with two high school coursesper year. This level of commitment could readily qualify as capstone projects or independentstudy credits. Regrettably, very few school districts presently accommodate such research creditswithin their established curricula. Addressing this issue presents an emerging challenge foreducators and administrators: how to design supportive and flexible school curricula thatseamlessly integrate project-based and service-based learning initiatives into students' academiceducation. By developing an advanced school curriculum that incorporates these learningmethodologies, a ripple effect can occur, benefiting a

This spine includes project-based courses thatprogressively develop students’ skills in design thinking, empathy, and technical analysis. Earlycourses, such as introductory design and manufacturing, provide foundational exposure to HCDprinciples, while senior capstone projects emphasize tackling comprehensive, real-world designchallenges. These capstone projects not only demand technical proficiency but also requirestudents to engage deeply with user needs, environmental considerations, and societal impacts.Extracurricular and informal learning environments are another hallmark of the program.Engineering competition teams

A third distinction is that the results of an independent study mayresult in novel preliminary findings that can contribute to new knowledge or original work. Acapstone project is typically focused on application and the results obtained may not be original.Students may use an independent study as an opportunity to further their Senior Capstone projectby finishing any additional work needed to conclude the project.
