Todd is a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University and the founding director of BYU’s Capstone program. During the 2008-2009 academic year BYU completed its 515th industrially sponsored project with cross-functional teams of Sr. engineering and technology students through the Capstone course. Dr. Todd received his PhD from Stanford University in Mechanical Engineering Design, taught engineering courses and served in department and college administration at BYU-Idaho (then Ricks College) before spending 10 years

The team ofmultidisciplinary faculty from Engineering and Communications who teach the sophomore levelcourses have observed the difficulty students have tackling the fundamental open-ended natureof true design problems and have subsequently revised the sequence. For the Fall of 2005 theSophomore Clinic sequence was revised to introduce Dym et al.’s converging-divergingframework for design by incorporating a series of three projects of increasing complexity withaccompany activities designed to reinforce the converging-diverging concepts.

ProjectAbstractThe typical U.S. engineering curriculum begins with three years of structured courseworkfollowed by a final year of technical electives and the choice of a relevant capstone designproject. In mechanical engineering this project is designed to integrate the concepts from thesecourses towards the production of a working mechanical system. Unaccustomed to makingconnections between this course material and hands on design, students often have difficultyseeing how this type of book knowledge is relevant towards the solution of an authentic designproblem. This issue can best be expressed through the differences in expectations among thestudents and their faculty advisor, and when compared, highlight some of the discrepanciesbetween the two
