CBH and MET students and faculty from SUNYPoly visited CABVI and listened to a series of staff presentations on potential projects. This ledto several different capstone projects, one of which was the braille block project. The firstcapstone group produced braille tiles and a scrabble board with square braille blocks [6]. Asshown in Figure 1, the initial designs were laid out using AutoCAD, and the final models weredesigned using SolidWorks. Figure 1.

Forundergraduate engineering education, capstone projects are exceptionally important. Howe andGoldberg [3] analyze current practices, trends, and strategies. Furthermore, since this workaddresses a multiyear design project, the pedagogical value of project-based learning (PBL) as apart of experiential learning, is also well documented [4]-[6]. In addition, since students work inteams, some of the peer learning (PL) practices are implemented. PL is extensively addressed ineducation and psychology literature [7]-[11].Teams undertaking multiyear projects can be either replacing some members each

For example, Koh(2020) [1], developed a “Community Engaged Design” course as a senior design capstone in asmall liberal arts college. Students were able to address pedestrian safety in their community bycoming up with a prototype for a system which detected and warned drivers of the presence ofbicyclists.

Multiple studies have explored the aspects of multidisciplinary teamoutcomes for capstone design teams [7,8]. Other studies have explored the possibility ofmultidisciplinary teams in a variety of other courses including having a multidisciplinary groupof faculty teach general engineering classes during the first-two years of study [4].Since service-learning projects often require both engineering and non-engineering knowledgefor successful deployment, having students from a variety of backgrounds, including non-engineering, can be valuable.

Unfortunately, thisoften delays this important introduction to mechatronics and system design to late in theengineering curriculum, likely coinciding with other courses which would benefit from studentshaving had prior experience of such skills (such as capstone design projects). As a result, there isa growing interest in providing systems-level, mechatronics-like training early on in

As summarized by Jerry Jenkins, CEO of Texas Instruments; “Most engineering jobsinvolve design and practice, not theory and research.”7 A 1997 National Science Foundationreport8 called for engineering programs to place more emphasis on teamwork, project-basedlearning and close interaction with industry. With the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) explicitly requiring engineering design content in the curriculum, senioryear capstone design classes, freshman cornerstone design classes and in some cases, designcourses throughout the curriculum, were introduced into engineering programs. Interestingly, thecornerstone design course was introduced in part to improve student retention in engineeringprograms by exposing

those core courses serve as thesteppingstone to advanced professional courses in the discipline. Other curricula rely on themechanics courses in a similar way but have a different disciplinary core at the junior level anddifferent professional courses at the senior level.The three courses are generally associated with three semester credit hours each. At the rise ofThe Mechanics Project, these courses were taught in a lecture-based format that met twice aweek using common mechanics textbooks. We will refer to this context as the “traditional”learning environment, which is comprised of lecture during class time, homework outside ofclass, and a few exams to assess learning. Capstone
