AB  - Most of the undergraduate engineering programs culminate in a required senior capstone project where students demonstrate their knowledge, skills, creativity, and design capabilities. These projects are frequently completed by teams having 3 - 5 students per team. Often, the success of an undergraduate engineering program is chiefly assessed through analyses of student senior design projects. In this work, a comparative analysis of three generations of students’ senior capstone projects (a pre-pandemic phase, an early-pandemic phase, and a full-pandemic phase) based on project quality, work environment, and funding, is presented. Each phase was further divided into three stages: survival, adaptation, and thriving. A combination of appropriate pedagogical methods was used for each phase/stage. Based on direct quantitative project assessment metrics based on defined quality attributes it is observed that the senior design projects at the full-pandemic phase were of higher quality than the projects of the previous two phases. This shows that it is possible to design and build excellent senior capstone projects even in the time of physical isolation assuming that inexpensive rapid prototyping machines are available and appropriate pedagogical tools are implemented.
