A technical capstone course is an alternative to the Master’s project in the Technology Managementdepartment. These courses are fairly typical of most graduate engineering programs in the U.S. The thesis optionentails a research project. The Master’s project may be research or application-based, but is done by a studentworking alone with an advisor. The technical capstone course focuses on the creation of a business plan, but lacksthe time needed for student teams to create prototypes, and has not led to commercialization of any productconcepts.

that they have theskills necessary to develop work for potential employers, and have experience in executing thetasks on the workplace. Soltani et al.’s study revealed that engineering programs that aresponsored by industry partners displayed a closer match between the requirements of employersand the interests of students. In programs where industry partners sponsored internships, studentshad a chance to develop skills required to find jobs, academics developed closer links to theindustry, and employers had a chance to develop and retain professionals in their businesses. It isworth mentioning that many of the NECA student chapters also benefit from internshipsprovided by the local NECA chapter members sponsoring the students’ activities
successful and timely capstone project completion.Capstone Project Objectives and Process1The BS-ITM capstone project is a three-month two-course sequence in which students work onan original project that brings together concepts, principles and tools that are taught in theprogram. The deliverable is not a theoretical design but, rather, a working prototype of a real-world need that meets the requirements of an actively collaborating client. Students completetheir projects and present their work to a panel of academic and industry professionals in thisdiscipline. Grading is H (Honors), S (Satisfactory), or U (Unsatisfactory) only. Objectives of thiscourse are to: Demonstrate the importance of Project Planning and Project Management Do in-depth

decided that cold air wouldbe a better option to be noticeable in all conditions and clothing types. To achieve this, a vortextube is used to convert the compressed air into cold air. For the air to be noticeable from at least 6feet away, the ideal velocity out of the nozzle needs to be 1.5-2 m/s. Because of this, a 100 SCFMEXAIR vortex tube was used for this design. The breech simulation already uses an air compressorfor the other operations, so a branch hose will be taken off the compressor to provide air for thevortex tube.With the original visual recoil system already finished, the team decided that for not only ease ofuse but also ease of manufacturing, the ring would be modified to fit the vortex tube and compo-nents needed
