effectiveness ofengineering education, recent engineering graduates were interviewed, and the results showedthat the majority of them felt that their education failed to impart the practical skills required fortheir jobs [8]. Additionally, other researchers ([9], [10], [11], [12], [13]) have also highlighted theinadequacy of engineering education in preparing students for engineering practice. Some studieshave even documented the distressing impact of this gap on recent graduates, leading them toseek alternative career paths ([14], [15]). In response to this issue, several researchers in the fieldof engineering education have emphasized the importance of experiential learning ([16], [17],[18], [19], [20]). In fact, ([19], [20]) has suggested that

. Most of them have onefoot in college and one foot in industry or graduate programs. They expect the course to providea bridge between the “two worlds”, or between “the past and the future”.The capstone course at our institution has been described elsewhere [3]. Essentially, it is a five-credit-hour course, offered twice a year in the spring term (two sections) and in the summersession (one section). Spring sections normally enroll 30-50 students, and less than 20 in thesummer sessions. One faculty teaches each section. Spring sessions may have one or twoteaching assistants (graduate students). It focuses on a team project for the design of acommercial chemical plant, with supporting lectures on process synthesis and design, equipmentsizing
