form of a stage-gate process. The concept of stage-gate processesare widely utilized in industry settings. This is especially true for companies that develop andlaunch new products on a regular basis. This paper reports on how the stage-gate process wasimplemented into the course sequence. The paper will also cover the lessons learned after thefirst cycle of the course sequence and the future direction of the capstone course at PittsburgState.IntroductionEngineering technology programs often employ a senior level design course(s) in theircurriculum. The objectives of these design courses vary, but the basic concept is to providestudents an opportunity to devote a relatively large portion of their time and their skill set to asingle applied

So mark π at themidpoint of the interval representing a decade, and mark 2π at 8/10 the distance along the decade.If the axis were, say, the frequency axis on a Bode plot, then marking it in rad/s on one side and inHz on the other is quick and simple, and it allows for perfectly easy conversion between the twounits.Proceedings of the 2013 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education 6Once it is

the more common waysof incorporating this type of experience into the program is to require some sort of design and/oranalysis project as part of the capstone course(s). 2Various methods have been used to devise such a project. Some schools create open endedprojects designed to simulate real life scenarios[2]. Others try to incorporate competitive aspectsinto their projects by either having various groups work on the same project, or by entering oneof the many design competitions available for students. A third approach is to use industriallysponsored projects.Many people have written about open ended projects formulated by the course
