In both higheducation institutions, UTRGV and TecNM/ITM, students who complete their coursework mustcomplete an industry-related, research-based capstone project, which in specific cases involvethe design and development of a functional prototype.As part of the new projects definition, faculty advisors identified the need of including short-term research projects embedded in regular coursework, to enhance the students’ experience notonly at the Senior Project I and II, but also as part of the following courses: Solar EnergyTechnology, and Green Building Design II.
