summarized as follows: ‚ Provide marketable skills ‚ Provide a significant design experience ‚ Require an appropriate amount of effortIndustry: Industry can be a customer of a capstone course in multiple ways. First, manycapstone projects are sponsored by industry. The capstone course must provide students with thetools and guidance necessary to provide a quality product to their industrial customers. Second,since many students seek employment after graduation, industry becomes an important customeras they hire new graduates. A capstone course should assist in providing students with the skillsthat are valuable to industry. Providing students with marketable skills, therefore, serves theneeds of both students and industry. Customer needs

are unaware ofthe benefits of integrated STEM learning, which involves learning STEM content while alsoaddressing authentic problems. One particularly effective strategy for employing integratedSTEM learning is through Project-Base Learning (PBL), in which students gain real worldexperience in designing and leading their own STEM-focused projects.PBL is a pedagogical teaching approach that places students at the center of learning. The role ofthe teacher is to help facilitate learning by guiding students to essential understandings. Duringeffective PBL experiences, teachers set up rules and parameters that encourage students tocomplete a project within a specified time frame by working cooperatively with peers [2].Students are provided ample
