As a few examples, students in capstone seminars in 2017,2018, and 2019 assessed the capacity for campus buildings to hold solar panels, investigatedoptions for microgrids on certain quads on campus, and helped the Office of Sustainability assessthe economic implications of bringing biogenic fuels to the College’s power plant.The 114 students enrolled in Engineering and Society over the last five years have been 39%female, and 25% of those who chose to specify an ethnoracial identity

. Upper-division (junior/senior) and graduate students provided the academic maturity and leadership tothe groups during the initial planning and design phase. An important consideration in workingwith such groups have been fitting the students’ interests and abilities to the tasks and presentingthe challenges to motivate and not overwhelm them educationally. LionSat also provides a wealth of opportunities to educate larger numbers of students inlecture and laboratory courses by transporting the problems encountered on the project into theclassroom as case studies. An example of this is the senior capstone design project, intended as aculminating educational experience in which students integrate the theory and practice fromprevious

The senior design projects were mentored by a teamof faculty members who rigorously monitored students’ progress to meet the courserequirements which include detailed testing plans and meticulous documentation. Theinformal feedback from the faculty members show that the frequent formal reportdeadlines combined with a clear presentation of the testing and documenting process atthe start of the semester were effective.

However, most of the students’ academic development is centered onderiving tedious equations and solving textbook problems, which are difficult to visualize andphysically understand, and cloud their intuitive nature to comprehend a problem on its entirety.These conventional approaches and methods of disseminating content in the classroom have atendency to exclude diverse learning styles of students. Thus, teaching schemes solely focused oncovering themes verbatim from a textbook or paraphrasing from a slide presentation are hinderingthe students’ ability to understand and apply all the engineering principles in design projects. Suchtechnical concern is observed during their senior year capstone

Ideally, Senior Design teams are also cross-functional, tobroaden the projects and better replicate the professional world.

In entrepreneurship and management, a program exists where teamsof between three and five undergraduate students develop business plans for ideas that areproposed to them by biomedical engineering students. Business plans for projects withcommercial potential examine factors necessary to convert the project idea into a viableenterprise.
