nuggets of wisdom like, “Spec sheets always lie,” and “There is no suchthing as a problem, only challenges.”A well planned and executed student project should be finished, tested, and working at the end ofthe semester, by the expected date of completion. But, as any faculty member will tell you,things do not always go according to plan. The shortfalls are often attributed to unforeseencircumstances, personal failures, or simply running out of time.Risks and the management of risks are part of the capstone experience. But traditionalapproaches to risk management do not address the most common kind of risk found in studentcapstone projects, namely, risk to the schedule.In this paper, we propose an approach to schedule risk management, based on

perfectionism includes sociallyprescribed perfectionism and excessive concerns over mistakes. Maladaptive perfectionism canbe associated with procrastination while adaptive perfectionism contributes to the timelycompletion of tasks.Normal vs. NeuroticPerfectionism can be classified as normal or neurotic. Normal perfectionism refers to striving forreasonable and realistic standards which leads to a sense of self-satisfaction and enhanced self-esteem. Neurotic perfectionism refers to an inclination to assess excessively high standardswhich are motivated by fear of failure and concerns over others’ disappointments.Looking at these characteristics of perfectionism, we can see overlapping features such asavoiding negative outcomes, concerns over mistakes

through Dasein – a construct meant to engage the philosophicalcommunity with the notion that humanity is at a nexus of object and subject. When the engineerin our American institutions has been treated only as a byproduct for a specific purpose – onethat cannot even construct new physical laws but only manipulate them – the engineer existencecomes into question. While previously I concerned myself with the notion of expanding the construct of theengineer’s place in society, I am more focused on expanding upon a few of Heidegger’sphilosophies here. Although I still feel that the question of how we prepare engineers to thinkphilosophically is a high priority for our field, the current state of affairs indicates that perhapspapers on highly

Therefore, equity work at themacrolevel of contesting ideologies and dominant ways of knowing and being acknowledgesbarriers that foster inequities in engineering participation at the microlevel, making way for allstudents to rightfully participate (Calabrese Barton & Tan, 2018, 2019).The second application of this contestation concerns conceptualizing epistemologies ofengineering for learning. For this orientation towards engineering and practice, engineering ineducation can be leveraged to engage in social justice work. Morales-Doyle (2019) argues thatcurricula constitute spaces that can invite students to interrogate and critique macro-levelsystems, increase their knowledge and understanding of the relevant issues and enact change.Bazzul

Study abroad programs also may not offer the specific engineeringcourses required for students to stay on track with their degree requirements.
