explores the opportunities, challenges, and pedagogy of a real-world, hands-on,international capstone project. We present a case study in which three faculty members fromdiverse disciplines, including engineering, computer science, and political science, guided a teamof students from the Bachelors in ISAT (Integrated Science and Technology) program at JamesMadison University for a two-year capstone experience spanning the students’ junior and senioryears. The paper describes the overarching pedagogy and goals of the two-year ISAT capstoneexperience and describes how the ISAT “Holistic Problem Solving Habits of Mind” are integralto our teaching and mentoring approach in applied projects.

,10 students left engineering/computing majors or the university altogether, and others did notrespond to invitations to participate in the interviews. In addition, four students transferred toother universities but continued to participate in the interviews. Student pseudonyms are used inthis paper. Students were compensated $100 per interview and $10 for taking the online surveys.There are a variety of limitations to keep in mind when interpreting the results of the study. Thestudents interviewed may or may not represent ‘typical’ engineering students. These studentswere initially attending four doctoral-awarding institutions, thus the full spectrum of institutiontypes were not represented (such as liberal arts focused, bachelor’s or

Learning about the research in asituated context 5,6 and within a community of practice has been shown to be successful 7.There have been a number of efforts that have this goal of socialization of graduate students intothe field of engineering education in mind. For example, conferences such as the AmericanSociety for Engineering

During the focus group, studentshighlighted both the conventional aspects of ENGR1500 withcomments like “I’m a procrastinator. ENGR1500 really Figure 5.

Then they[Career Development Center guest speakers and ENGR1500 faculty] told us that you have tostart thinking about finding mentors and internships and creating a resume….. from the verybeginning”, and the new aspects of the course, “I realized that doing the physical work ofengineering opens the mind,” one student commented.

students transition from high school to college, theyoften don’t have explicit knowledge and skills in these areas, which can cause them to struggle morethan is necessary. Higher education institutions have created programs to provide explicit instructionin these areas through classes in “learning to learn,” self-regulation, and self-care. Specific topics inthese classes include metacognitive strategies, time management strategies, goal setting, developinga growth mindset, and practicing self-care techniques such as mindfulness and staying sociallyconnected.Given engineering students have unique experiences and struggles within these different areas, wedecided to build our program within the College of Engineering to address their particular
