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

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

Mixed methods research involves both qualitative and quantitative data collection andanalysis (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018).
