In addition, capstone courses arenow explicitly promoting entrepreneurial versions of the course; while many capstone projects aredefined by industry partners and sponsors or sometimes academic projects, courses are now beingpiloted that specifically cater to the needs of students who want to discover and work on their ownideas [11].Entrepreneurially infused educational opportunities are also catching on with some vigor in designcourses before senior year. These cornerstone experiences were developed for first and secondyear engineering students based on the known impacts of design on self-efficacy and persistencewithin engineering through the formation of an engineering identity [5].

The course was adapted to respondto social distancing restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic and thus was offered following aHyFlex format [17]. The course already followed a cooperative project-based learning approachwhere students work towards a team-based semi-capstone project [18]. Briefly

Working directly with students early on and throughout their educational careers is anoptimal way for companies to recruit potential employees and ensure that the students areequipped with enough industry knowledge to start work immediately with less onboardingtraining required upon their entry into the workforce.Many companies may also decide to get involved in students’ educational careers by sponsoringa capstone project. There are many ways in which a capstone sponsorship can be carried out.Take the engineering design capstone project Pennsylvania State University - HarrisburgCampus, for example. Companies from the industry advisory board can opt to sponsor a studentor group of students’ projects by presenting a real-world industry

The faculty member would assign the groupof students a current challenge of a selected industry partner. The students would then attempt todevelop prototypes, create new manufacturing processes, deliver code, and analyze data toaddress the challenge.
