for the students, the department opted to discontinue that project, or something like it,as a capstone option during the 2024-2025 academic year.Closing Comment:This is just the second year of the year-long capstone experience within the USAFA civilengineering program, and we are optimistic that the program will be able to continue to offerresearch-centric projects as one of the options. The author is also hopeful this case study will beuseful for other programs if they are considering the incorporation of research-centric projectsinto their culminating design experience.References[1] Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs: Effective for Reviews During the 2024-2025Accreditation Cycle, ABET, Inc., Baltimore, MD.[2] S.

followingtypical example, often encountered in introductory engineering dynamics courses. Students mustnot only grapple with abstract mathematical concepts, such as understanding how motion observedrelative to a translating frame differs from that in a rotating frame, but also visualize the physicalscenario, a task that can be daunting due to the complexity of considering multiple reference framessimultaneously. Example: The train on the circular track is traveling at a constant speed of 50 ft/s in the direction shown (Figure 1). The train on the straight track is traveling at 20 ft/s in the direction shown and is increasing its speed at 2 ft/s2.

course stands out for its collaborative approach, as previously described in [Author (s),2024]. Students are organized into triads, considering their previous academic performance tocreate a balanced combination of skills. In a nontraditional format, the course blends theorywith practice, focusing on teamwork, analyzing real construction case studies, and presentingweekly topics such as proposal analysis, construction execution, cost analysis, and projectmanagement.The course's practical sessions involve: − studying the construction processes that are relevant to the projects, − exploring the possibility of implementing new technologies, and − analyzing technical and administrative data from real projects tendered publicly.The course
