These community based projects were added based upon student interestsand research indicating that women and minorities are likely more interested in projects with asocietal or humanitarian objectives. Additionally, while the Baja and Formula projects are a largeattractor for mechanical engineering students, the ECE students have little engagement in theprojects.As will be discussed in the findings section, a key element of this study is examining the facultyroles and student reactions to these two project types (competition and community-based). Asignificant challenge with the community-based projects is the need to source, plan, and managethe projects outside of the capstone semester. These elements will be discussed in

As alinguistic and “transactional” activity, storytelling supports meaning making through discourse,narrative, and the process of translating private experiences into publicly negotiated forms [23-26].As such storytelling has been associated with developmental models of learning, identityformation [21, 27], and “folk psychology” which asserts that culturally shaped notions, stories, andnarratives organize experience [28-29].

These results support the findingsreported by Guskey regarding the importance of planning and organization. The majorityof EET seniors perceive that coordinating laboratory work with lecture is important fortheir learning. When a faculty member tries to coordinate laboratory with class, studentssee the application of technical theory and develop a clear understating of how toimplement laboratory experiments/projects. This result appears to support one ofKnowles [15] fundamental assumptions about instruction for adults: “Adults learn bestwhen the subject content is clear and of immediate importance
