However, there aremany decisions to make in developing a design project and for those who lack the resources thatare sometimes invested in capstone experiences, many limitations. For instance, design projectsmay include clients and specific context, or they may be

Managing industry expectations around capstone projects and undergraduate research is much more challenging, and I don’t believe we manage this consistently yet.”Some participants also reported some negative experiences they had when collaborating with oradvising undergraduate student on inventions. For example: “Undergraduates think the whole university is put here for them to use for their pleasure. While faculty have minimal say over IP issues in contracting, consulting, faculty-owned businesses, etc., people want to throw state resources at undergraduates to exploit the same facilities and resources that faculty are prohibited from exploiting for their gain.” “Faculty

need to learn embeddeddevelopment comes up repeatedly in the context of our capstone senior design experience, and hasresulted in the individual instruction of many students at our institution, over many years, often in theform of guided tutorials. While effective enough to support the capstone course, this approach does notexpose every student that wants to acquire this skill set with the opportunity to do so; such instruction islimited to those students that need to learn the skills to support a project. It also lacks the efficiency of aclassroom approach.Microcontroller skills can be acquired today without formal instruction.

Teaming continues to be an important dimension ofengineering work and by extension a required outcome of engineering education. Despite theemphasis and importance ABET places on teaming and the efforts of institutions to meet theserequirements [1], students may or may not develop effective team behaviors as a result of thevarious team experiences they have in an engineering curriculum. Researchers have noted thatthese skills have traditionally been considered “outside of the curriculum” and the instruction ofthese skills has been primarily relegated to cornerstone and capstone design courses.
