was realized that a very strong Capstone program was needed in each of the fourdisciplines of engineering. Team-based learning was the core of the Learning Outcomes inCapstone courses as required by ABET. The focus of this paper is on the Capstone course in theMechanical Engineering (ME) program. Capstone has been taught as ME-4810 and 4820 in twoconsecutive semesters as three-credit-hour courses. In the past five years practical projects havebeen assigned to teams of seniors with great success. Each team has been assigned a coach/mentorwho has advised and monitored each team’s progress. Extreme care was taken in requiringstudents to use a comprehensive engineering design process, perform correct engineering analysis,use CAD and FEA tools as

Thecourse covers these goals in a project-based learning style by stepping through the design processfor a single device.

In the development of the tool for removing kernels, students stated“… we found in the class that it’s not always the technical aspects that are important—it’s alsocultural.”2Opportunities for engineering graduates to apply their expertise to solve both technical and
