In order to manage the high numberof student teams, an increasing delegation of student advising to support staff took place,combined with a streamlining of the project theme to converge at multiple instances of a singleproject. Challenges of this system included a progressive weakening from the course learningoutcomes, and a lack of project choice for the students. Subsequent changes aimed to

In the other sequence, the students takethe first semester in early summer, and then spend 6 months on co-op before returning in theSpring to complete the second semester of Capstone. Although these two sequences weredeveloped simply to accommodate student schedules, this fact provides an opportunity todetermine whether the lag between semesters hinders, aids, or has no effect on whether studentsgenerate quality designs and use good project management techniques.

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) forcollaboration is mandatory in Virtual Teams. Developed projects are short-term, with a focus ininnovation. Groups are small, with members located in different places. In this regard
