introductory courses arelecture-based and may be supplemented with discussion sections and presentations by guestspeakers or alumni. While these activities offer students exposure to the engineering discipline,they lack the hands-on component commonly used to enhance learning [15]. Many introductory-level courses do not offer students a laboratory experience since first-year students lack thebackground necessary to apply engineering principles, and many activities would requireextensive laboratory and calculation time [16]. Additionally, it has been shown that highlycompetitive introductory math and science courses that lack engagement may discouragestudents from earning a STEM degree [17]. For example, it has been shown that struggles in firstyear

It assumes that young people learn new information by actively re-constructing it within their existing knowledge frameworks but adds that this is best done whenmaking and doing things. This material learning through design lends itself to the focus on con-structing, building, and making that is encouraged in pre-college engineering education [2],[3].In school, constructionism has supported teachers’ implementation of sandbox software (e.g.Scratch) and modular hardware (e.g. LEGO) to move engineering design across curricula, in-cluding science, technology and math [2],[4].

GPA Capstone Grade Peer Evaluations EMFFigure 1.

The team was academically balanced with anaverage 3.25 GPA (range of 3.09 to 3.58). Only three of the team members had engineeringinternship experience, with the remainder of the team having only coursework (possible“engineering experience” imbalance). The team included four mechanical, two electrical andone materials engineering students. One thing that stands out about this capstone project team isthat there was one team member with a dominant (personality style) who served as a team leaderand who also earned
