Although the use of industry-sponsored projects appears to be themodel followed by most departments, only four of the 28 universities incorporate other majors(e.g., Mechanical, Computer, and Electrical Engineering) on their capstone teams. Thesefindings correspond to earlier studies4,5,8 but do not follow the notion that in industry engineersneed to be able to work with individuals from multiple disciplines. If engineers do indeedcommonly work with others outside their own major area, why are capstone courses notembracing this concept?According to Beyerlein et al.1, the capstone course should include topics that focus on thestudents’ professional development

Knowledge on how to define specific work systems,which are combinations of workers, machines and information, to perform useful work willgreatly enhance engineering managers. In particular, competence in method study and workmeasurement will greatly assist them to carry out or supervise method planning and workestimation and because of this, work system is often included in the curriculum.

These skills are often used to lead projects, functionaldepartments, and companies in a wide variety of highly technical tasks. Most engineeringmanagers focus on product development, materials management, production processes, andworkforce reliability. Management engineers apply engineering principles to the planning andoperational management of industrial and manufacturing operations.The Department of Engineering & Design offers degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computerand Mechanical Engineering Technology, Design, Manufacturing, Applied Technology, andConstruction Management.
