Studies show that an increasing percentage of students are drawn towards topics related tosustainability.2 Regardless of these changes, one thing that remains true is that small engineeringdepartments, particularly departments housed in small liberal arts colleges, are faced withadditional challenges. These challenges include working with limited resources (budget,laboratory space, equipment) and the necessity for the instructor to supervise projects outside ofhis or her area of expertise. Thus, it can be difficult to develop capstone project ideas that arerealizable in this setting. We believe the Hybrid Solar Tracker project was an
