Theonly engineering course that the students have taken before statics is the first yearcornerstone course, an experience that is dwarfed by the rest of the first year load of basicscience and mathematics pre-requisite courses. The statics classroom can be one of thefirst true acculturation experiences for these future engineers. This is one of the firsttimes these students are amongst only their departmental peers and are being taught by aprofessor from their home department. Thus, the statics course has a significant role toplay in setting the tone for the years to come, and in introducing students to

Many capstone modelsencompass both a lecture component and the applied capstone design project. While this is themost common implementation, not all capstone models include a lecture component.

However, if students wish to refresh their skills, Khan Academy is agreat place to go to, due to its exercises and videos. Khan Academy is a greatplace to learn, as Khan rewards you for learning more. A small improvementwould be the 'review' system- after a student has completed a set of exercises,after a while, Khan Academy marks the exercise as needing review.

students reiterated that these studies were much longer than any previous study they had undertaken in the past and that they had not worked before in a collaborative effort. The students were also able to note that planning and execution followed distinct stages- literature search, experimental design, data collection and evaluation , and drawing of conclusions. Exposure to technical writing was invaluable for most of the students- although writing skills are poor across the board in the U.S., scores are particularly low at TCCs. Science and math scores on assessment tests such as the Praxis (for secondary education students) are moderately lower than national medians, but English skills are very much lower. In
