Technical writing, Teamwork, and Innovation will be top business skill requirements; 9. New programs are needed, and they should include lab or capstone project content. A comprehensive educational resource center dedicated to Advanced Automotive Technology would play a role in all the above. Some of the industry survey data are summarized in Tables 1-4.

The existingexperiments have become dated and in many cases have devolved to demonstrations by theteaching assistants, with little hands on experimentation by the students. This has resulted inseverely decreased student satisfaction with the labs. An extensive redesign was performed todevelop hands-on, open ended lab experiments that allowed students increased control over theoutcome of the experiments. Pre-lab homework assignments require students to develop labprocedures, research sensor specifications, and develop virtual instruments in NationalInstruments’ LabView.

The control group is a major focused on engineering mechanics, which has atheoretical orientation that focuses on mathematical modeling based on first principles and haslittle formal design education prior to the capstone experience. The experimental group is amechanical engineering major that uses design as a context for its curriculum. In order to providea uniform basis for comparing students across projects and years, the authors use a task-independent protocol analysis method grounded in the Function-Behavior-Structure (FBS)design ontology.

The authors also argue that even capstone design courses limitstudents’ ability to be creative, as projects are “limited to ‘synthesis’ exercises using knownmethodologies. This article provides ten “maxims” that would foster creativity in students: 1)Keep an open mind, 2) Ambiguity is good, 3) Iterative process that includes idea incubation, 4)Reward for creativity, 5) Lead by example, 6) Learning to fail, 7) Encouraging risk, 8) Search formultiple answers, 9) Internal motivation, and 10) Ownership of learning.
