Projects: Where are students still struggling?AbstractMechanical Engineering students at Northeastern University are introduced to research skills andinformation literacy at several points during the undergraduate curriculum, including a recentlyintroduced first-year engineering workshop and a required technical writing in the disciplinecourse. There are also two writing intensive courses that require background research to informlab reports and research presentations. When students reach Capstone Design, project reportsshow vastly different levels of proficiency in information literacy skills. The goal of this studywas to assess which information literacy skills were poorly learned and retained by the students,in order to

Implementation of Industry-Inspired Project Management Elements in an Entrepreneurial Capstone SequenceAbstractThis paper explores the implementation of project management elements (PME) in a three-semester capstone course sequence. Following an entrepreneurial model, multidisciplinary teamsof four or five students work on an engineering project of their choice, which involves design,fabrication, and testing. Teams are required to submit weekly PME designed based on an agileworkflow. These submissions include weekly individual reports and team meeting minutes,documents similar to those that students can expect to use as working professionals or to managetheir projects as part of an entrepreneurial start-up

[4] Various approaches havebeen found to be successful through the assessment of sustainability knowledge and skillslearned in activities, modules, and courses and across the civil engineering curriculum [5].Among those approaches, integrating sustainability in the capstone design is one of the mosteffective teaching approaches. A capstone course is an integral part of Civil Engineeringundergraduate education. It requires students to apply knowledge and skills acquired in earliercourse work from a Civil Engineering curriculum in a design that solves real-world problems ormimics real-world projects [6

Introduction Mosquitos can be deadly and might have caused approximately seven hundred thousanddeaths per year due to the transmission of the diseases from people to animals [1][2]. Monitoringenvironmental factors for potential breeding sites of mosquitoes is an important and effectivemethod in mosquito control.

EngineeringCapstone Design Project Dr. Alexis Ortiz-Rosario1 1Department of Biomedical Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus OH, USA AbstractThe traditional idea of capstone teams is assigning a project to a group of students which willbe tackled throughout an academic term. The team can comprise students from a single majoror multi-disciplinary (e.g., multiple majors). The project can span one or two semesters; in someexceptions, new teams are tasked with further project phases for the following years [1]. Thiswork aims to present a novel approach to structuring capstone teams. By deconstructing asingle project into multi-deliverable components (e.g., heart rate

These judgments areclassified within three broad themes—assumptions and model building judgments, rhetorical anddiscursive judgments, and framing and positioning judgments.
