Some disciplines,such as industrial Design, focus on earlier stages of the design lifecycle, producing final“designs” which are often a set of drawings for a conceptual future product. Information Systemsstudents with their strong business influence often complete projects that focus on analysis ofuser needs rather than production of a working system.

Aeronautical Engineering Technology program has senior level capstone courses thatintegrate knowledge gained through undergraduate courses. Three of these capstone coursesrequire the students to plan, design, build, test, and implement product or process improvements.Faculty members have designed these courses in the curriculum to focus students on productdesign and process improvement. The courses use Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology andtechniques as a structured approach to problem-solving, product design, and processimprovement. This combination of design project experience and LSS knowledge is anadvantage for graduates seeking careers in aerospace and aviation, as the LSS methodology iswidely used across multiple disciplines to achieve dramatic

Much researchdiscusses how and why students initially choose a major (e.g., [1],[6]), but further discussion ofwhat happens between major declaration and planned graduation date is lacking in the existingliterature.Major selection is the focus of a large body of research involving higher education (e.g. [1], [2],[7], [8]).
