Thestudents can apply knowledge learned from the engineering curriculum to real-world projects intheir senior capstone design class. This paper focuses on discussing our classroom experiencesin integrating industry sponsored projects from a startup company into a senior capstone designcourse in a computer engineering program. The capstone design course builds uponfundamentals of an ABET-accredited computer engineering curriculum. The design coursesimulates real-world project experiences and offers an opportunity for students to learn new skillsets including the design, debug, build, and test of prototype systems as well as

Engineering instructors at the University of Waterloo have identified a lack of opportunitiesfor students to practice their need finding skills prior to fourth year. As a result, a set of needfinding instructional activities were conducted in-class for one term. The objective of thisresearch is to conduct evidence-based program improvement by identifying the teachingpractices that improve need finding competencies in engineering graduates. More specifically, inthis ongoing study, the authors explore how students identify, select, and justify their capstoneproject problem; and

While there are several existing models to facilitate multidisciplinary capstonecollaboration in existence, they do not fit the needs of a fully integrated capstone program likethat at CSM. Project-by-project attempts at targeted multidisciplinary integration across separatecapstone classes are challenging to scale for large programs. Tracked multidisciplinary programslike those found at RIT and Michigan Tech can be challenging to coordinate at the programlevel. Regardless of the approach, each discipline is looking to the capstone design program toprovide ABET required capstone projects

, there have been attempts to improve the quality of the designeducation of engineers by incorporating increasingly more authentic, professional designconditions and incorporating elements of business, finance and management in thecapstone design class [8-9]. The aim is to produce engineers who are more productiveearlier in their careers. But attempts to ascertain the efficacy of these efforts require moretools and wider application of these tools [10–11]. For example, McKenzie et al. wrotethat “…faculty members suggested that they lacked information and know-how todevelop assessments for all users, write clear and appropriate course objectives, anddetermine whether assessments used in courses are as fair as desired” [9].
