A project-based approach3-11 has beenconsidered as one of the most effective ways and has been implemented in different courses.More specifically, capstone design courses8-11 were notably preferred among these courses. Thiswas because engineering students were required to synthesize their knowledge learned through awhole undergraduate curriculum, and apply their skills in senior designs

Others prefer touse case studies to teach some aspects of the design process such as ethics, legalconsiderations, and safety.

Formany students, getting the music for free in one form or another is all they have ever known, andso introducing these topics to them is eye-opening since they have not faced such an ethicaldilemma.

These courses also provide an invaluable opportunity for students to movebeyond passive absorption of the material and apply these skills to an open ended design project.This paper focuses on efforts to improve the understanding and application of designmethodologies. However, it should be noted that by better understanding and applying thisaspect of the capstone experience students frequently experience beneficial effects in other keyelements of the learning experience.Capstone engineering experiences across the country are typically either one or two semesters

However, this was sometimes complicated when incorporating itinto every discipline. We realized that some of the disciplines are strictly analysis and otherswould require more resources given in one semester to create complex parameter analysis of theaircraft.The two sided coin of the project was the team dynamic. There were good things and bad thingsthat can be expected when working with a group. Over the weeks, individual work ethics andparticipation became a point of significant concern. The

Amongthe advantages of such approaches are that students have greater opportunity to be mentored andpractice aspects of engineering for development that are often missed in the “core curriculum” oftraditional engineering education. Specifically, through “project based” engineering education,students work to: - formulate and solve ill-defined problems under complex conditions; - understand professional and ethical responsibilities associated with these complex conditions; - communicate with other engineers and with non-engineering professionals and the general public; and
