My senior capstone project involved working on an interdisc iplinary design projectfocused on designing and developing a vertical takeoff and lift system (VTOL).

There were four different disciplines involved—industrial and systems engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering,and aerospace engineering.

effective to make each report due within a few weeks of completing the lab instead of both reports due during the same week. • Better handouts for some of the labs would go a long way for this course. Also, it is sometimes unclear what the instructor is looking for in certain sections of the report. Having three big projects worth a large percentage of the course grade due the week before finals is not an ideal situation. A suggestion would be to spread due dates out more.COVID Operation in the Context of ABET Student OutcomesFour of the seven ABET student outcomes are directly related to the lab courses, althoughOutcome 1 is largely covered in all engineering courses.

Insofar as mostprograms utilized their capstone design experience to bring their students together, most collegesmix, at best, students from different engineering disciplines rather than drawing on studentsmajoring in business, economics, and other relevant fields such as history, psychology, andanthropology. Some programs also simply choose projects that require multiple disciplinaryperspectives to be applied without requiring the students themselves to come from differentdisciplinary backgrounds. The current guideline says multidisciplinary capstone design. [In] the new guideline, which will probably go live December 1

The concerns about discrepancy between the industry expectations and graduate practice readiness has been alluded to for general engineering [6], studied within software engineering [11], civil engineering [10], and chemical engineering graduates [12]. Literature has shown that there are a number of approaches higher education institutions have taken to improve their graduates’ practice readiness, some of which have enhanced students’ employability through developing generic skills or holistic competencies [4]. Additionally, some institutions have implemented capstone design classes, in an effort to meet ABET criteria on student outcomes and address concerns regarding graduates ill-prepared for industrial

In engineering, the previous levels of the taxonomy culminate to the design of a component or system that invokes all previous levels of the taxonomy. Such efforts to create are often stimulated in capstone design classes but can also be invoked in smaller projects in lower- level courses.Promoting the integration, design, and evaluation capabilities of students is
