Higher student retention rates are positive for the students, institution as well as the na-tional STEM needs; however, there appears to be no “ one size fits all” Freshman Year Experi-ence to guarantee student retention.Freshman engineering experiences vary from one engineering program to the next. Several engi-neering colleges have adopted a cornerstone-to-capstone approach that engages students with aproject intensive freshman year experience and then revisits this hands-on project philosophythrough the curriculum to later culminate with a senior capstone design project2,3.

The real problem of global design comes when the members of the teamare not in the same country or speak the same language. How can current design methodsthat depend so much on clear easy communication be used effectively with global teams?Design methods have only begun to be used on the Global scale.

The mission of this center is to create an innovative entrepreneurial culture at LouisianaTech University. In order to change a culture, it is reasonable to begin with new members of thatculture. Another factor is the authors’ desire to see an improvement in the senior design projectsfor the capstone mechanical engineering design course sequence.

IntroductionDesign has changed status from a formal course to a flagship stream. There has been a cleartransition in the engineering curricula from the traditional approach to the alternative paradigm.The former viewed design as a byproduct of engineering education that cannot occur without thesolid formation of engineering sciences1, whereas the latter argues that analytical knowledge isnot adequate for tackling real-life engineering problems, and that design can be viewed as ameans of learning engineering not a result of it. Capstone design courses are fruits of formerapproach. They have

First, itcan give students a chance to reach the “synthesis” level of learning. After taking introductorycourses in RF, computer networking, and controls, RFID allows students integrate these separate“silos of knowledge” into one system. The second reason for presenting RFID in the AS degreeis that the level of knowledge required is appropriate for sophomore ECET students.
