component. The course features manyelements including: design and software engineering, writing for broad audiences, oralpresentations, staged development of the student product, use of modern software tools, andcontact with alumni to bridge students towards their future work environments. Two types ofdata have shaped the lessons learned: formal focus groups conducted with each class of seniordesign students, and informal feedback from well-meaning alumni. The interesting conclusion isthat the very features seniors tend to complain about – design, writing and oral presentation – arethe ones alumni report as the most valuable.1.0 IntroductionCapstone courses in American higher education are thought to date back to the 1850’s, whencolleges like

work looks at the impact of authentic value- added capstone projects on student’s soft skills by comparing results of a multi-year collaboration survey given to multiple senior capstone teams. The observed trends suggest that projects with community impact (irrespective of size or geographic constraint) foster increased communication, participation, and ultimately collaboration.Introduction There is a worldwide push to engage and develop K-12 student interest in Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines1.
