foundational skills identified by studies in the field. The feedback from both theworkforce and graduating students highlights the demand for hands-on experiences that directlyapply classroom knowledge to real-life design challenges.By systematically guiding students through open-ended experiments, the presented methodologyaims to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application. This work-in-progress reflects our commitment to continually advancing engineering education, ensuring thatstudents are equipped with the multifaceted skills demanded by the contemporary job market.References[1] B.

developed as part of the requirements for a Senior CapstoneDesign Project course for the Electrical Engineering Technology program at Kennesaw StateUniversity. The Senior Capstone Design Project course is designed to align with the ABET ETACstudent outcomes (1-5) for baccalaureate electrical/electronic(s) programs. The course encouragesthe development of original innovative projects ideas that seek to address societal needs, and thatmay be suitable for further development into commercial products. The MouseHead project designteam consisted of two senior students, one of whom served as the team leader. The entrepreneurial value added to this Capstone course included teaching students how toapply economic methods in cost and revenue

ProjectsThe project for this class could be described very succinctly as the fabrication of a vibratory motiondevice. Students were encouraged to pursue ideas that sparked their curiosity with the overall goalbeing the creation of a simple, profitable device that performed some practical operation(s) usingvibrations. The project was developed such that there were both individual and team deliverablesthroughout the course of the semester and was designed to encompass four different parts. Eachgroup completed a team contract at the beginning of the project. The team contract is included inthe Appendix section.The first part of the project was all about idea generation.

This activity concentrateson suppling plants with a steady source of water without the cost or depletion of aquafers causedby using some type of irrigation method. Students will develop hydrogels that help to retain soilmoisture while being biodegradable and nontoxic.
