product. Another problematicassumption made in the students’ economic proposal was that what works under consumercapitalism in the U.S., where a high percentage of the population has expendable income, wouldwork in the very different economic circumstances of Nicaragua. The project was ultimatelystalled at the proposal stage because of disagreement about this point.By the time they reach their senior capstone, engineering students have often had few- if any-courses that require them to consider empathic approaches to designing for a client orcommunity whose racial, ethnic, national, socioeconomic, or other demographic backgrounddiffers from their own. This experience gap is reflected when students don’t have the tools tounderstand the needs of

2W1, Canada This paper presents an engineering capstone design project that is community or service-based. By and large, most students in the school’s capstone program design and build a car forcompetition in the Baja or Formula collegiate program. However, there are several other growingoptions that students are exploring. In 2019-20, one of the options was for students to design andbuild a star tracking mechanism for a 4.5-meter radio telescope. This paper presents the ongoingtelescope work and, where appropriate, contrasts that with the traditional capstone projects likeBaja. In particular, a series 8345 Prime focus radio telescope is to be modified to track stars. Thismeans that we could use the 8345-dish, but little else. Nearly

experiences.Capstone courses and projects are very important activities for student outcomes of an academicprogram. Capstone courses integrate and further build on the learning outcomes from many ofthe courses students study. Integrating mechatronics into a senior capstone design project is notalways possible. However, much like a senior capstone project, mechatronics is a course thatallows students to exercise their creativity and problem solving skills using project basedlearning and exercising teamwork. In this paper, sample capstone design projects usingmechatronics and their outcomes will be presented. In particular, this paper gives an overview ofthe developed devices specifically by focusing on the design and development aspects of theprototypes

demonstrations for their project, they must have enough knowledgein design, analysis, fabrication, and testing. In ESET program, most courses with courseprojects use about half of the semester for regular laboratories and only about seven weeks fortheir course projects. Given the time limitation, making a gadget for the Mimi-Maker Fairecould be a challenge for some lower level courses. In Make Culture, people are supposed tolearn many knowledge and skills on their own before they can make gadgets. As students movethrough the ESET program, they know more and more about designing electronic gadgets. Control System (ESET 462) is a senior level course. Students typically take this coursetogether with their Capstone I (ESET 419), as illustrated in Fig.1

Our institution supportssponsored projects that can prepare students to approach open-ended problems, improve designand communication skills, incorporate stakeholder needs, and work effectively on teams. Theconnections they build with industry partners can also be the beginning of a professionalnetwork. Furthermore, experience working on a real-life project can help students identify orclarify their career path within engineering.

One of the mostchallenging factors designers must account for is the consideration of stakeholders. Stakeholdersare defined as all individuals who affect and/or are affected by the design and design process [1];hence, they play a major role in contributing to the effectiveness of a design. Stakeholder needs,safety, behaviors, and preferences when interacting with a design will impact whatconsiderations engineers must consider when designing. Overlooking these needs not only canbe detrimental to the overall effectiveness of the final design, but more critically, can haveadverse social
