While this may seemobvious given that engineers are responsible for the creation of a significant portion of thetechnologies used in the world, the practicing professional engineering community is sometimesconservative in their embrace of new technologies. This was the case with finite element analysis[1], [2], but with vastly improved user interfaces and local availability of significant computingpower the use of high-fidelity numerical simulations is seeing significant growth both in practiceand in the classroom.In Froyd, Wankat and Smith’s paper “Five Major Shifts in 100 Years of Engineering Education”[3] they include “Simulations” as part of the “Fifth Major Shift” and note that

Interms of our understanding of AI, it has been difficult to conduct a holistic examination of thedisciplines that comprise the AI space in the past, due to differences in methods specific to thefields. However, recent advances in tools, as well as increased collaborations among diversepractitioners from the humanities, bioengineering, computer science and others is leading tobetter ways of exploring this space.

Capstone projects frequently involve multiple elements including design,simulation, fabrication, validation, and cost analysis. This complexity requires system thinkingand can easily become interdisciplinary [1, 2]. Due to reporting requirements, interaction withcustomers and sponsors, and collaboration among different team members, these projects alsoprovide an excellent opportunity for practicing and improving written and oral communicationskills [3].

However, asearly as grades K-12, students with spatial abilities are overlooked by current gifted assessmentprograms [5].
