Over-body wings tend to force the cardownwards but would increase the drag force on the car. This capstone project investigated theground effects on a scaled F1 car by testing the down force and drag force with and withoutground effects. To meet the objectives, an 8.8 feet-long (2.93 m) wind tunnel was built by theteam having a 6 × 6 sq.in (3.34 m2) cross-section testing chamber running air at an approximatespeed of 34 miles per hour (mph

Oncethe students understand the fundamental knowledge of signal and systems and digital and analogcircuits in sophomore and junior years, they learn how to effectively “divide” complex problems,refine the decomposition, and integrate the pieces. Finally, the students compile, synthesize, andapply the various techniques that they have learned in previous courses into actual solutions toreal-world problems through capstone projects.Curriculum integration is a methodology widely used by educators to implement the “divide andconquer” strategy and improve students’ education experience 17, 18.

(e.g., [3, 4, 5, 6]).However, it is rarely a focal point as most textbooks provide minimal content on Agile[7]. Thereis a need to incorporate Agile into both the content and pedagogy of courses[8]. Agile has beencombined with service-learning[9], but there has not been a lot of work integrating Agile withactive learning techniques. A specific implementation of agile that is inherently and especiallyactive is Scrum. Scrum or a

In our mechanical engineering curriculum, bits of basic concepts of GD&T arebriefly mentioned or discussed in several different courses. It has been observed in the lastseveral years that some students in their senior capstone project designs still didn’t know how toproperly define assembly dimension tolerances or component dimension tolerances.

To be equipped to contribute to and lead integrated design teams, it iscritical that students gain experience during their education in integrated design projects that leveragecollaboration (Messner et al. 2011). In academic settings, strategic locations for integrated design educationare commonly located in capstones and design studios.
