The final year consists of traditional capstone design projects, similar to those at mostaccredited programs.As noted in the previous section, retention can be improved by many different factors. One ofthe results of having a project course with professional skills every semester during the entiredegree program is that as students work in teams and present so that they get to know each otherwell and develop a community. As already noted, a community aids in student retentionthroughout the entire four-year sequence [4]. Particularly in the second year, more benefit isgained when a focus is placed on directing students toward their future careers and providingmentorship to aid their motivation to continue in

Often it is impractical forengineering students to create a real-world equivalent problem to address full breadth thatimplementing a robotic system for automation requires. To address this challenge, a relationshipbetween Boys Republic and Cal Poly Pomona was established which benefit both Cal PolyPomona engineering students while providing a solution for Boys Republic in the assembly ofChristmas wreaths.Cal Poly Pomona’s approach to its engineering curriculum, specifically the Department ofElectromechanical Engineering Technology, focuses on teaching engineering students therelationship

havethe opportunity to earn academic credit for their engineering design work. A key difference in thisframework as compared to other typical capstone designs, independent studies, or research creditcourses is that undergraduate TAs and project managers within the project teams are responsiblefor developing many of the assignments distributed to those students enrolled the course as theproject progresses. The methods of student assessment within this framework include: individualor small-group weekly assignments, design notebook checks, peer and self-evaluations,participation, summative technical reports, and the Humanitarian Library.

those core courses serve as thesteppingstone to advanced professional courses in the discipline. Other curricula rely on themechanics courses in a similar way but have a different disciplinary core at the junior level anddifferent professional courses at the senior level.The three courses are generally associated with three semester credit hours each. At the rise ofThe Mechanics Project, these courses were taught in a lecture-based format that met twice aweek using common mechanics textbooks. We will refer to this context as the “traditional”learning environment, which is comprised of lecture during class time, homework outside ofclass, and a few exams to assess learning. Capstone

The second category of project based teaching/learning tools is represented by courses offeredlater in the curriculum, such as senior/capstone design, directed and independent study courses.These courses allow students to work individually or in groups on a particular project where theycan apply some of the skills acquired in classrooms to solve a particular problem. Similar to thefirst category, the emphasis in these courses is on the design process and application of skillsrather than targeting a specific one and deepening its understanding and improving its masteryby the student.

These multi-disciplinary projects are completedby teams of four to six students over the course of two semesters.

The projectteam developed empathic innovation workshops and embedded them into existing biomedicalengineering capstone courses. Data were collected using surveys, student project reports,ideation tasks, and observations. These workshops resulted in significant changes in students’emphatic tendencies. From our qualitative studies, we also conjectured that the overall empathicpotency of a student design

However, many students, especially those with lesstechnical experience from internships or co-ops, come into senior design with weaknesses.
