.2.6 CEE Capstone DesignHistorically, many infrastructure choices and designs have had disproportionately negativeimpacts on minority and low-income communities. Changes were implemented in the senior-level CEE capstone design course to prepare students to design equitable engineering solutionsthat consider the diversity of stakeholders. The project was developed with a community partnerorganization that was interested in an aquaponics facility that could provide the organizationwith an income stream that would allow them to be self-sustaining. This organization is locatedin an area of the city that has been neglected and serves a predominantly minority population. Itwas expected that students would be motivated by the opportunity to use their

Feedback was gathered from the studentsvia informal surveys and Student Ratings of Teaching Effectiveness (SRTEs). The course washighly anticipated by the ME students. Two sections were offered in both the Fall 2016 andSpring 2017 semesters; and both sections filled quickly with students requesting additional seatsin the course. Student feedback was mixed.

often been avoided. With a heavy emphasis on teamwork via industry and accreditationstandards, group projects are a high priority.There are two primary problems to resolve when students work on teams. The first problem isthat students are rarely taught how to work on teams. The second problem is the need to assesseach individual’s contributions (or lack thereof) to the team.Assessing teamwork, by its very nature, is usually deemed as a subjective process. Thus, theapproach employed to perform the assessment must be structured in a manner that can beobjectively and quantitatively measured via a methodology emphasizing the teaching of teamworkand the evaluation of individual contributions to a team.

Undergraduate engineering programs all haveintended learning outcomes aimed at these practices, such as “an ability to design and conductexperiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data” and “an ability to design a system,component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints” [10]. As noted above,these practices are highly valued by employers, who note that recent college graduates often lackproficiency with these practices [11].
