Suchexperiences are usually structured in a manner that requires student teams to design constructionoperations for realistic projects. Often, the goal is for teams to mirror standard industry practicesduring the development of bid-level cost estimates, project schedules, etc. and thereby providestudents the opportunity to demonstrate and integrate the myriad of skills and knowledge learnedover the course of the undergraduate curriculum.To facilitate learning and improve student performance faculty mentoring of the capstoneprojects is often used.

At that time, WPI redesigned its graduation requirements to include two required projects [2].One project is undertaken within the student’s major field of study is completed during the senior year.

Positive interdependence. This refers to the need to have every team member involved in achieving the group task. This is implicitly encouraged, because if any group member fails to do their part, the whole group suffers the consequences. 2. Individual accountability. Each member will be held responsible for completing his/her contribution to accomplishing the group task and understanding the contributions of the other

I argued that this disposition was functional and necessary forengineers to carry out design and analysis effectively; the wrong level of reliance onmathematics—too much reverence or too much skepticism—would incur safety and economicrisks. Unanswered by this prior research was how these engineers developed their perspective onthe relationship between mathematics and engineering and this disposition of skepticalreverence. This question is taken up by the study reported here.This study was part of a larger project to investigate how engineers develop as problem solverswho apply mathematics effectively. I conjecture

Two surveys weredeveloped, one for students and the other for faculty, to examine the effectiveness of the systemin meeting the goals of the project. The student response rate was about 15% (56 out of 368)while faculty response rate was 70% (7 out of 10).Overall, a majority of the students and faculty found the system to be beneficial. For themajority of faculty, the system saved time over previous methods of peer evaluation they hadused.
