learn new skills and knowledge, whennecessary, through the design process to complete their capstone design projects. Students cannourish their life-long learning ability and gain some life-long learning experiences [6~8]. Somecapstone design projects are industrial-sponsored. Therefore, this is the best approach tofacilitate and initiate students' transition from academic to industrial reality [9~13]. Due to theproperties of capstone design project courses, capstone design project courses are always the bestcourse for assessing ABET (the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) studentoutcomes [14~16 ].In 2015, our mechanical engineering curriculum converted a one-semester capstone designproject course into a two-semester capstone
