Overall, the first capstoneexperience was quite successful: a highly motivating project, a cohesive team of students, and aproduct that is being used nationally to advance space technology.IntroductionMost engineering programs include senior design capstone courses because they provideopportunities for upper-level undergraduate students to apply what they have learned to real-world problems. 1-3 The MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics has broadened thescope of a capstone design course to provide

The bridge should be verystrong and durable, sustaining variable loads, impacts, vibrations, and surviving its localenvironmental conditions for many years with routine maintenance. Design engineersaddress critical construction aspects such as bridge safety, building cost, structuresustainability, durability, material properties (e.g., tensile strength, Young’s modulus,yield strength, fatigue, creep, thermal expansion), construction processes such aswelding, and geometry.

Therefore the VLSI project washeavily front-loaded to complete three weeks before the end of the semester. To keep theprojects on schedule, students made written or oral reports at each of the following milestones. 2/25: Preliminary Proposal 3/4: Project Proposal 3/13: Floorplan Complete 3/18-22: HMC Spring Break 3/27: Schematic Review 4/8: Unit Layout Review

In the first course, student teams learn about the formal engineering design processand project management then develop a detailed proposal for a project to be implemented in thefollowing semester. Over the years, students from both electrical engineering and electricalengineering technology have worked in teams to complete their capstone projects. Whileelectrical engineering students may have a strong theoretical background, electrical engineeringtechnology students have strong hands-on experience, an important skill for building andtroubleshooting electronic systems.
