Dynamics Research on Undergraduate EducationAbstract The obtaining of an undergraduate degree concludes a successful student universitycareer. For many pursuing an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, the process canbe tedious and difficult. Much like an engineering design, an engineering education requiresspecific tools to see the problem from design to production. For many, the desired solution toproducing the degree is supplemented only by an introductory design class, a few hands onlaboratories that provide an introduction to a few key basic concepts, and a capstone course thatrequires the implementation of the acquired knowledge in a final design project intending tomimic the design process

ConclusionsThe senior capstone design experience provided students the opportunity to apply what theyhave learned in their undergraduate courses in previous years into a viable project. It bridges thegap between classroom and industry and allows students to apply their knowledge and skills totackle real world challenges. It gives them the responsibility and freedom to perform at their ownpace and learn to interact and communicate with their team mates.
