Similarly, in terms of project management, theygained experience in managing their time and resources, and also in being resourceful throughchallenging and new problems.For this paper, the three students were asked to provide a small blurb on their perspectives of theproject to their education in general, with prompts to be completely candid with no limitations.Below are their verbatim responses.

The Mechanical Engineering curriculum is highly laboratory-based with a unique feature where at the beginning of the Junior year, the curriculum branchesinto five possible tracks called “specialties.” Approximately 12% of the total 180 credits arededicated to a more in-depth coverage of a sub-field of engineering. The current specialties areAutomotive Engineering Design, Medical Equipment Design, Manufacturing Product Design,Machine Design and Plastics Product Design. Each of these specialties culminates into acapstone design course where students are ideally expected to: 1) learn the design process as an "holistic" interdisciplinary activity, and 2) practice the "complete" design cycle from problem
