engineering design process on it from technical design, mockups, testing, 2 refinement to improvement. Students develop mockup designs based on an engineering problem. Students design an experimental plan for the engineering design problem (e.g., building a floating assembly with a portable charger). Then they conducted experiments, collect and analyze data that is compared to the theoretical design. Thereafter they make conclusions and observations on the outcomes based on engineering and math concepts (e.g., Buoyancy and stability). They finally use conclusions to draw improvements to the components, system, and processes

Industry Engagement versus Faculty Mentorship in Engineering Senior Capstone Design CoursesAbstract:The senior design capstone course is an important experience for engineering undergraduatestudents. This course prepares students for industry by having students solve open-ended real-world problems. During the course, a student team defines a problem, plans an approach,develops a solution, and validates their solution, which culminates in oral and writtendissemination. Typically, undergraduate programs have provided students with facultymentors to develop a solution for a specific project. In order for projects and teams to besuccessful, the mentors must provide invaluable support, collaboration, and interest in

The decreasein expectancy belief was expected since during the first year of college, students are transitioningfrom high school to harder college-level courses. The decrease in value belief was not easy toexplain. The paper notes (bold added): “What is more difficult to explain, however, is the finding that at the end of the year, students reported enjoying engineering less and viewed it as less important and useful than they did at the beginning of the year.
