American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Game Design in Computer Engineering Capstone ProjectsAbstractThe purpose of a capstone design project course is to provide graduating senior students theopportunity to demonstrate understanding of the concepts they have learned during their studies.As with many computer science and engineering programs, students of the computer engineeringprogram at Utah Valley University (UVU) conclude their degree programs with a semestercapstone design experience. The intent is for students to utilize competencies developed in thefirst three years of the curriculum in the solution of an embedded design problem.Recently many of our computer engineering

Society for Engineering Education, 2021Capstone Projects Focused on the Evaluation of Existing StructuresAbstractStudents of Structural Analysis and Design Engineering Technology of the University ofHouston Downtown (UHD) are required to develop a capstone project covering the designtheory and concepts developed in their courses. This paper presents the results of capstoneprojects that encompass the evaluation of existing structures, which were designed followingbuilding codes from more than 50 years ago.The projects studied and discussed in this paper are the superstructure of the bridge “Travis St.over Buffalo Bayou”, located in Houston, TX; and the roof of the “Roberto Clemente” coliseum,located in San Juan, PR.

student survey and instructor-assessed elements. The tool is beingused in the capstone design course sequence, and the results from three semesters ofimplementation are reported and briefly discussed. Compared to the previous method of peer-evaluation alone, the new tool allows each sub-outcome to be measured and evaluated.IntroductionMechanical engineering seniors at Lawrence Technological University (LTU) complete acapstone design project: either an SAE collegiate design series (CDS) competition or anindustry-sponsored project (ISP). These capstone projects serve as a summative assessment,bringing together machine design, thermo-fluids, manufacturing, and mechatronics topics into areal-world design experience.

Capstone course sequence was created to meet the increasing student demand for projectswith a humanitarian engineering context and to develop the global competencies required for studentsto successfully complete these projects. The demand was created due to the number of OSU studentspursing a Humanitarian Engineering Minor and/or the Global Option distinction. Students in theseprograms are required to participate in a capstone design experience that involves a global orhumanitarian focus.This paper will: 1. outline the Global Capstone course sequence development process, 2. describe the structure and learning outcomes of the Global Capstone course, 3. reflect on the challenges associated with managing a program focused on complex real

Three phases of review were conducted with emphasis on multidisciplinary programs,multidisciplinary approaches, and multidisciplinary capstone, separately. The results reveal an increasing trendin the development of multidisciplinary engineering programs, the significant role of capstone projects infacilitating multidisciplinary engineering education, including integrated and real-world trends inmultidisciplinary capstone experiences. In addition, there are gaps in the literature that required more insightsregarding non-accredited programs, student outcomes

CBH and MET students and faculty from SUNYPoly visited CABVI and listened to a series of staff presentations on potential projects. This ledto several different capstone projects, one of which was the braille block project. The firstcapstone group produced braille tiles and a scrabble board with square braille blocks [6].

Thiscould be a result of the students in the project-based curriculum being faced with the open-ended,multidisciplinary, design problems associated with the competition projects.

There is little faculty supervisionand the student must be self-reliant and motivated to make progress in the project while alsoknowing when to ask for help. A third distinction is that the results of an independent study mayresult in novel preliminary findings that can contribute to new knowledge or original work. Acapstone project is typically focused on application and the results obtained may not be original.Students may use an independent study as an opportunity to further their Senior Capstone projectby finishing any additional work needed to conclude the project.

During class, students were given a briefexplanation of California’s Cap and Trade Policy. They then played a game to simulate the openmarket of allowances and see where emissions improvements were and were not made. Studentswere then asked what changes could be made to the game (and, by extension, to the Cap-and-Trade Policy) to encourage equity.The senior Capstone class experienced a broader inclusion of social justice in their classcurriculum. From the start of the quarter, students were told they would need to include a socialjustice analysis as part of their Capstone project report. This analysis was required to includemeans

. Capstone design is a culminating course offered toundergraduate students in which they collaborate to design, build, and test engineering solutionsfor real-world problems. The students enrolled in these courses must first solve the problems offorming teams and identifying a course project. This is especially challenging for one-semestercourses because students must form groups in less than a week. The challenge is furtherexacerbated for interdisciplinary capstone design courses. Students must form teams withindividuals studying different majors; in most cases, teammates have never previously met. Atthe end of the semester, teams display and pitch their inventions and marketability to a panel ofjudges, guests, media, and peers while competing for
