to yield a comprehensive outcome [6].Interdisciplinary endeavors require scientists from multiple fields collaborating to apply theirexpertise to address common questions and achieve shared outcomes, with the primary aimbeing the integration of concepts, methods, and principles across disciplines [6]. For example,interdisciplinary capstone courses often involve students from various disciplinescollaborating to complete projects, such as journal papers, individual assignments, orinterdisciplinary course projects [7], [11], [12]. However, while these courses fostercollaboration, they often fail to prepare students to address complex challenges requiring theinvolvement of external stakeholders [13].TransdisciplinarityTransdisciplinarity is

and university engineering curricula in the US have been following similartrajectories for some time. In the early 1900’s, engineering was treated more as a ‘trade’ at theuniversity level, and high schools encouraged vocational studies, including auto repair, woodshop, metalworking, cosmetology and other ‘trades’ to the non-college bound. Between 1935and 1965, most university engineering curriculum moved away from a trade-school curriculumto a more theoretical, mathematically-intensive one, delaying any hands-on design projects untilthe senior or ‘capstone’ design course 11.Similarly, the nation’s high schools tried to erase the division between the trades and the college-preparatory tracks to prepare anyone who might be inclined to attend a

The rapid changes that are taking place in the engineering field, some of thetechniques the students learned or exposed to might have changed since the time theyentered the program to the time of graduation.Thus a capstone course was necessary to bring the senior students up to date in thevarious fields of electrical and computer engineering and to provide guidance tosuccessfully complete their senior design project. The students take courses based on theplan of study from the freshman year to the senior year when they are required tocomplete a project for graduation. Also the students may not be familiar with sub field ofelectrical engineering like power electronics if they have taken the electives

This model can be scaled down to support undergraduate capstone ordesign projects as well as larger, complex thesis preparation. Although many advisorswill still comment knowledgeably on the actual writing of the thesis, it is hoped that theuse of this suggested model would allow them to devote their attention to the substanceof the research project.
