This will enable studentsand faculty to develop an entrepreneurial and international adventurous spirit to better succeed inthe new frontier of a globalized environment1.History and Evolution of Capstone CoursesIn the early 1990’s there was mounting pressure from industrial and educational leaders to makesignificant changes to the engineering curriculum to better prepare engineers for leadership whileproviding real-world experience1. This was a result of industry feeling that engineeringgraduates were inadequately prepared for the practice of engineering. Response from thesepioneers developed what has become known as capstone courses or programs. These programsbrought open ended design problems and often industrially

These faculty members either worked as private consultants orworked with an engineering firm. The highest degree these faculty members possessed mayhave only been a master of science or master of engineering. As the focus of fundamentalresearch heightened and the availability of research funding increased during the early 1960’s,many engineering professors directed

When Motorola spin off their microprocessor division to Freescale Inc., 5 the68HC11 EVB became very hard to obtain. The alternative EVB made by Axiom is moreexpensive. 1 Another draw back is that the alternative board has limited functions as comparedto the original Motorola 68HC11 EVB.1,9 In order to extend the use of the 68HC11 EVB and keep

] state, “spatial reasoning is a mental process that involves thinkingabout relationships between three-dimensional (3D) objects.” From the early 1990’s researchershave been studying the importance of spatial reasoning skills. Most researchers who have studiedspatial skills or their components state the fact that engineering, architecture, and most scientificjobs require people to have good spatial thinking skills [2]. People with high spatial abilitybenefit particularly as they have enough cognitive capacity for mental model construction.Researchers like Hsi et al.

Instead, Wei is aplant manager who supervises eight engineers, he is his parent’s son, he is your colleague, etc.In line with this conception, Wei likely gives a great deal of consideration regarding hisrelationships with his employees.
