consensus was to redesign the camp asa hybrid learning program where participants worked their way through a daily online curriculumthat resulted in the design and build of a model rocket that was then launched as a part of theculminating experience for the camp. The camp was designed so that students logged into NicheAcademy, an online learning management system, to complete 4 days of sequenced curriculum thatincluded lessons on the physics of flight, engineering design, and model rocket building skills. Eachday included rocket design or building activities. On day 3, participants submitted their designsimulations for review and approval. Once the designs were reviewed for stability and approved,participants could complete their rocket builds for

Sharon Beaudry, a businessprofessor at Oregon Institute of Technology, explains that the simulation allowed for more non-conventional teaching methodology, such as a student-centered, flipped classroom [50].Although effective, the Harvard simulation is limited to two areas, group dynamics andleadership, and focuses on a single event. Interpersonal problem solving and decision makingare, perhaps, more important in a business management curriculum than in engineering, whereproblem solving tends to focus more on solutions to technical problems.

Lack of effective assessment and evaluation tools canlead to false or inaccurate conclusions about the goodness of design processes. Yet, consideringthe ubiquitous presence of capstone design courses in almost every engineering curriculum,outcomes assessment of these courses is perhaps among the most under-researched topics inengineering education.Cost, time and quality are the three basic performance measures attached to any process. In thecapstone design projects we studied, time can measured in terms of number of weeks of totaldesign time, e.g., one 15-week semester. The cost can be measured by the number of personhours
