A program where students attend both the community college and the senior college at the same time for the first 2 years. With the senior college just a short bus ride away (1.4 miles), students in the joint/dual program have easy access to both campuses. This allows them to take courses at the senior college that are not offered at the junior college for a variety of reasons. These may include inadequate enrollment in specialized engineering courses, lack of specialized faculty to teach the courses, or lack of adequate teaching and laboratory facilities and equipment.

Moreover, the assessment tools available tothe faculty will be significantly different from those available to the student.Faculty tend to focus on test scores, comparative assessments of students within a class, and theexpectations of the faculty teaching a class to assess achievement of objectives. There is a built-in bias in such an assessment which can lead the faculty to see achievement and success on amacro-scale

However, successful design students must also masterprofessional skills such as oral and written communication, project management, teamworkskills, problem solving, and professional ethics. These skills can be difficult to teach in atraditional lecture format, but can be very naturally integrated into capstone design5. Sincecapstone design courses offer many opportunities for situated learning, they allow students tolearn these professional skills in a realistic context6.Given that these professional skills are necessary for a successful capstone design experience,one
