There were several motivations for this changeincluding creating a stronger emphasis on electrical and computer engineering concepts,improving programming and circuit building skills, and increasing the course technical rigor. Theobjectives of this course are to introduce students to electrical and computer engineering as wellas the engineering design process, teamwork skills, professional development, and technicaldocumentation through a quarter-long design project. A primary focus during the course is alsofor the students to have fun while learning these things. This year the course was converted toinclude not just a quarter-long design

To address the need forundergraduates to possess adequate non-technical skills prior to graduation, BME curriculatypically use capstone courses as vehicles for teaching professionalism. In the BME Capstonecourse at the University of Virginia, we have instituted several mechanisms for instilling a widearray of non-technical professional skills in BME majors. An emphasis on career developmentbegins at the outset of the course with a formal project selection process that features a BMECapstone “Project Fair,” which is similar to a job fair where the students submit resumes andinterview with potential
