As hands-on learning is the prevalent way of education in ET programs throughout theworld, a majority of the courses taught in the programs have a laboratory component. On theother hand, capstone design projects (senior design projects) are a common hands-on course forfinal year undergraduate students across all engineering and technology disciplines.The capstone design courses provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to get involvedin open-ended real-world problems.
