project portalDuring Spring 2013, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the College of Engineering(CoE) at Georgia Tech invited faculty and administrators from various schools within theCollege to collaboratively discuss possible pathways for developing a CoE or Institute-wideCapstone Design program. The faculty discussed several challenges, ranging from differences incurriculum requirements for individual schools, incompatibility between Schools having multi-semester Capstone Design sequence v/s a single semester, adequate scoping of projects, facultyload-sharing, etc. (some of which were similar to the ones already presented by Bannerot et al.6).Given the extremely large enrollments (around 800 students take Capstone Design everysemester

The ETC leadership has the ability to organize a task force from the ET communitycharged to design a set of relevant features and work with the ASEE in implementing a datacollection, tracking and publication process. The availability of national data that is centrallycollected by the ASEE will eventually lead to ranking. Ranking discussions may be contentious,but by concentrating on the positive, rankings can also be quite valuable to faculty andadministrators seeking to improve and expand their programs.On Graduate ET Programs: the natural growth direction The 1980’s controversial debate on the need for master’s degrees in

the students in this study would be relatively constant overtime as well. It would be useful to examine the GPAs of these students in light of the research todate to see if this trend is observed. In addition, one might expect that, in the future, if theseindicators change with time, it could be indicative of substantial changes in the K-12 curriculumand/or some other contributing factor(s) that the students experience prior to enrolment in first-year engineering. This longitudinal study may also provide a foundation for assessing the successor failure of initiatives that are being undertaken or those that may be proposed in the future toimprove the success and retention of first-year engineering students at our institution
