courses assigning a single team to each project.4Capstone design courses face the cumbersome but necessary task of incorporating a vast array ofcoursework into a single comprehensive project. Research advocates integrating courses fromnot only the technical curriculum but also general education curriculum as well.6 Withinengineering programs, this coupling of technical and professional topics is apparent. Accordingto the results of a 2005 survey,4 over half of programs surveyed included the following topics intheir capstone design courses: written communication (87%), oral communication (83%),engineering ethics (76%), project planning and scheduling (72%), decision-making (68%),teambuilding (66%), team dynamics (63%), engineering economics (61

Abraham Maslow (a founder of the field of study known as humanisticpsychology) is renown for having sorted out the basics of human needs. First: shelter, foodand security and then: education, introspection and the luxuries that are required to advance acivilized culture. All of these needs require problem-solving people, otherwise known asengineers. And the act of solving problems professionally and ethically is recognized asengineering.

theoretical knowledge students have gained in the curriculum. Topics include a six-class sequence on written communication, a series of classes on engineering drawing, and classes and discussions on career development, licensing, creativity, intellectual property, ethics, reliability, maintainability, and quality control. Most of the student work revolves around their project. They start by writing a letter of inquiry that is followed by a formal proposal and mid-course review during the first semester. In the second semester students submit test reports and a final project report. They also develop a poster presentation for their project and give an oral report. In addition to the project work, students are
