. This goal is achieved throughengaging engineering students in design exercises and experiences throughout their academicundergraduate careers. The CASCADE project provides student support in an innovativeconfiguration of cascaded peer-mentoring. This program exposes freshman students to theengineering design process with vertically aligned design experiences through the sophomore andjunior years. Cascading vertically, undergraduate seniors mentor juniors, juniors mentorsophomores, and sophomores mentor freshmen. The objectives of the CASCADE project are to:1) infuse concepts of the design process across all four levels of the engineering undergraduatecurriculum (i.e., freshman through senior), 2) increase first-year, second-year, and third

design and fabricate a low-cost transtibial prosthetic limb.Capstone projects typically span one to two semesters. In many cases, a single student designgroup is only able to concentrate on the design aspects of a capstone design project conductedwithin a single semester. In two-semester projects, the second semester typically provides thesame student design group the necessary time to build and test the design they completed duringthe first semester. Unlike these typical capstone projects, the authors’ prosthetic capstone designproject spanned four years and involved multiple student design groups. Students in the first-yeargroup conducted a feasibility study and built a basic prototype of the design. The iterativedesign process then started
