A faculty member (the author) was the facultyadvisor and, in lieu of charging companies to participate in the Capstone program as someschools do, each company was asked only to provide material support, such as the cost offabricating a printed circuit board, and provide an engineering mentor for the team.

Theemphasis in the readings is on both the relevance of EE as it pertains to technology that studentscan relate to, e.g., MP3 players, and to global problems, e.g., energy efficiency, as well as whatwill be taught in various courses that they will see in their next two or three semesters, and lesson “what an electrical engineer does in her/his career.”The course goals are listed and discussed below:1. Expose students to a wide range of EE-related topics.
