Senior Capstone ProjectAbstract: This paper presents the results of a real-world design project involving both undergraduateengineering and business students. The project involves the design, development, andprototyping of a next generation pallet rack column guard. The guard allows for the engagementand protection of a storage rack upright (column) from an impact force by an external objectsuch as a forklift. The guard protects the storage rack by absorbing and damping the resultingimpact force. The guard is constructed from an injection-molded thermoset elastomer.Elastomers can store and release more potential energy per unit mass (or volume) than steel andplastic guards. This translates to greater energy absorption which will help preserve

Teamwork plays a central role in the experience ofstudents in many first-year engineering design programs. The first-year design class at DukeUniversity revolves around student teams (typically four or five members) working on aspects ofa client-based project. Although most teams in the course function reasonably well, there existareas for improvement: respectful communication among team members and ensuring that theperspectives and skills of all group members are appropriately valued.

junior years is dominated by coretechnical subjects such mechanics of materials, aerodynamics, propulsion, and controls. Ideally,these engineering science courses give students the theoretical background that they can apply inengineering design courses, on student project teams, and as a practicing engineer. However, itcan be easy to teach engineering science courses with little connection to the practice ofengineering. One way to make the connection between engineering science content andengineering practice is to frame this technical content as mathematical models that describenatural phenomena under certain simplifying assumptions. With this framing, the purpose ofengineering science courses shifts from memorizing formulas and applying them

, project-based learning are effective approaches. The‘chalk and talk’ transmittal method in the classroom is being replaced by the constructivistapproach that has some of its basis in the ‘zone of proximal development’ construct [17]. In thisapproach, students are given the opportunity to construct their own knowledge through e.g.cooperative learning opportunities. Team-based learning which promotes cooperative learningimproves student achievement by increasing student reasoning, problem-solving and criticalthinking skills, encouraging more scientific thinking, and developing a deeper understanding ofcourse content [18]-[24]. A team learning environment that promotes interdependence of the teammembers has been shown to positively impact student
