The module, which included lectures and project work,involved the development of a container that could protect a POCT device from extremetemperatures when used outside of a hospital setting (e.g., by medical responders during disasterrelief).

Industry Engagement versus Faculty Mentorship in Engineering Senior Capstone Design CoursesAbstract:The senior design capstone course is an important experience for engineering undergraduatestudents. This course prepares students for industry by having students solve open-ended real-world problems. During the course, a student team defines a problem, plans an approach,develops a solution, and validates their solution, which culminates in oral and writtendissemination. Typically, undergraduate programs have provided students with facultymentors to develop a solution for a specific project. In order for projects and teams to besuccessful, the mentors must provide invaluable support, collaboration, and interest in

However, most reported efforts typically revolve aroundcomputer use through enhanced graphics, animations, virtual experimentation, etc., which areagain factory packaged. However, it is not common to come up with open-ended problems, i.e.PBL, and let the students on their own define what the problem really is and solve it within somegiven guidelines, especially problems that involve hands-on type work.

The motivation for developing this course was to alleviate this problematicaspect of service learning.

ETH programshave been broadly criticized on the
