Ledlie Klosky and Gunnar Tamm, West Point, The United States Military Academy Inspiring students to truly take charge and execute ill-defined, real-world capstone projects is a significant challenge. To meet this challenge, it is imperative that the project topic be carefully chosen, as the topic is the genesis of the student’s efforts. This paper asserts that successful project topics should contain three key components: the project must be rigorous but within the student team’s capabilities, the students must feel that the project matters, and the topic must engage the interest of the project mentors

Engineering Education, 2006 Learning through Service: Analysis of a First Semester, College-Wide, Service-Learning Course1. AbstractService-learning is a pedagogy which strives to integrate student learning with communityservice. In an engineering context, service-learning provides a project-based experience in whichstudents are confronted with real clients and problems, often of immediate need. In the context ofcourse development, however, many engineering faculty seem to feel that service learning isinfeasible in technical and/or large engineering courses, and that the overhead and opportunitycosts associated with service learning exceed the benefits received by students.This paper contemplates two years of service

Yet, real-world problems are complicated and dynamic. How, then, can we pushthe boundaries of successful capstone design programs to encapsulate an experience that more directlymimics the complexities and diversities that exist in professional practice? We propose a model forcapstone design that more closely approximates professional engineering practice with students workingon multiple projects, each on a distinct timeline and each with a different team of participants.

Aninitial review and benchmarking of universities also indicated that industrial sponsorship of alarge percentage of projects would be educationally important and that a full academic year (twosemesters) of senior design would be necessary to complete challenging projects. The initialconcerns of the department were facilities requirements, providing a
