education.12 In literature, themost popular way of integrating real-world problem solving, especially in multidisciplinaryteams, seems to be through capstone design courses. As of 2005, roughly 35% of undergraduatecapstone design projects were conducted in multidisciplinary teams of students (an increase from21% in 1994).6 Evidence has shown, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that students benefitgreatly from working in multidisciplinary settings. Survey results show that engineeringprofessionals associate interdisciplinary thinking with creativity in their peers and ratemultidisciplinary work as very important in preparation for industry.7 Similarly, students whoparticipated in a multidisciplinary capstone course identified functioning in a

Benefits of such hands-on design projects implemented in the freshman year include, increased retention, studentmotivation, academic performance, etc. After the freshman year, most mechanical engineeringstudents rarely have opportunities to engage in hands-on design projects until their senior yearwhen the capstone design projects are implemented, where students apply their acquiredknowledge to an open-ended problem and produce a working prototype of the design or a finalproduct that has been manufactured.

, there exists one significant drawback: fresh graduatesare unskilled at the process of representing real-world systems as idealized models that can besubsequently analyzed using theoretical textbook principles. This conclusion was based uponanecdotal feedback received from employers and freshly graduated engineers. This anecdotalfeedback was enough to initiate a more formal process to explore the transition from theclassroom to the real-world for an engineer or technologist.The capstone course, where students do projects with industry, attempts to fill in the voidbetween theory and practice. However, based upon feedback from fresh engineering graduates, itdoes not perform an optimum job of doing so since it is a single course taken during the

Capstone's modern curriculaare designed to let students integrate knowledge from foundational courses while also developingbroader skills such as presentation, writing, teamwork, and of course, design, consistent with thegoals outlined in the influential Green Report from the ASEE.2 There are now even textbooksthat explain in detail the possible micro-structure of capstone courses in engineering.4 A recentpaper (2012) provides a survey of the literature on capstone courses.1The computer science capstone (senior design
