The development of suchcurricula and frameworks has been the call of many K-12 science education panels andcommittees [2], [3], including the Teachers Advisory Council, who proposed five benefits ofadding engineering in K-12 classrooms: 1) an increased learning in math and science, 2) anawareness of the work of engineers, 3) the ability to engage in engineering

The first two yearsof the capstone design program have been inarguably successful, and in this paper we identifyand reflect on the keys to our success. The intention for writing this paper is to ensure thesuccess of the program is repeatable, and to assist other programs, especially those residing insmall liberal arts universities, in starting or revising their own senior design experience.Our key factors in assembling a successful industry-sponsored capstone design program havebeen: (1) faculty buy-in and involvement, (2) engaged industry
