. Forthat reason, capstone projects are increasingly used as a result of both ABET (AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology) requirements and strong consensus among educators andindustry that students need hands-on practical design experiences. Capstone projects may be oneof the best ways to evaluate how well students have learned to apply technical competencies [8,9]. In fact, the ability to assimilate, assess, and apply knowledge while building deeper levels ofunderstanding demonstrates mastery [10, 11].Although literature about capstone use in engineering confirms its usefulness in the academythere is limited studies regarding graduate-level capstone use in engineering.

Further, theneed for more successful propagation has also been highlighted by an ASEE report [11] that included anappeal to funding agencies to use resources to propagate better efforts that have proven successful.Although educational innovations have been produced over the past few decades, Rogers highlights aneed for knowledge of how to implement the innovation correctly and a lack of underlying
