components are used to augment the courses in order to enhance students’mastery of the subject matter and its applications. Usually, the capstone design course at thesenior level allows students to synthesize what they learned and exercise their creative ability.The main goal is to facilitate an environment for students to walk through the entire designprocess from the formulation of ideas, through implementation, test and validation. There aremany reasons that might contribute to the difficulty faced by the students in their ability tosynthesize and be creative. Two specific contributing reasons that we identified and attemptedto address are (1) insufficient critical thinking exercises and (2) lack of self-motivated activitiesunlike the cook-book

promote critical thinking and comprehensive understanding. Overall, the team is pleased with all of the modules from the USDA/NIFA effort. Thevehicle balance module as a completed project did become more computer program-orientedthan originally planned, at the expense of time for the hands-on tractor contest. However, thisalso provided some flexibility for high schools unable to support the miniature pulling contestactivity. They can just delete the event from the syllabus. The researchers are committed throughthe re-release phase of development for the modules, following the upgrade from the alpharelease. They are currently recruiting high school instructors that could execute a beta round ofcourse releases. As materials are debugged
a core skill that graduates should be equipped with upongraduation. To foster the development of these skills, design projects have been incorporatedinto the first year of many engineering programs in addition to capstone senior designprojects [1], [3].While there have been significant endeavors to incorporate design into engineering programs,an issue remains with the assessment of design tasks and projects. These forms of activitieshave traditionally been assessed through portfolios, rubrics, and criterion grading tools [4]–[7], which have some limitations when assessing open-ended design projects. Some of theselimitations include excessive time investment in grading, timeliness of feedback, validityissues, and low levels of reliability [8
lectures would have been requiredfor students to present 8 minute oral presentations in groups of about 4. Unfortunately,allocating 4 lecture hours to oral presentations was unfeasible because if impacts on limitedlecture and lab time necessary for covering other critical technical material. Unless otheralternatives were sought to provide students with opportunities to practice oral presentations,engineering student oral communication skills would suffer.The lack of previous experience in giving oral presentations can readily be seen when final yearstudents are given an opportunity to present their capstone final year project, and do a poor job ofit. In other engineering disciplines, where final year projects are not a requirement, students cango
were also working to complete their capstone designprojects, and many of them were traveling for interviews. However, the advantage of catchingthem at this position in the departmental study plan is that the students were also more aware ofthe potential benefit of the course on their career, and the concept of adding this course project totheir resume was very attractive. In spite of catching the students at the end of their collegeexperience, the classroom demographics were favorable. When making decisions on the applicability of any set of techniques or approaches toteaching a course, several factors must be balanced. The position of the course within thedepartmental curriculum could affect the course load and the ability of the

In addition,“documents that are text-based are not as popular as documents rich in images, including screenshots and step-by-step instructions.”12 The focus of the student is primarily visual, and to cater tothis learning style may provide better outcomes in the classroom.As a future skill, time management is a challenge for the millennial.
