math and science coursework. It isthe cornerstone course sequence that introduces topics such as How to be a successful student,What is engineering design, and Introduction to programming. The program is in its third fullyear and the longitudinal data on student belonging continues to be strong [9]. Studies focusedon the integration of social impacts in engineering courses tend to lean toward the capstone [21]or upper division courses [7] and recent work has started to acknowledge the importance ofcornerstone-to-capstone pipelines [22]. In engineering education, where first-year content isreflected in the rest of the curriculum, introducing design may give students tools to get a headstart on the type of thinking necessary for success in their
hasbeen debate among the faculty over the course content. Should it be soft and fun, aimedat developing creativity so as not to scare away students? Or should it be more difficultand rigorous, presenting significant fundamental concepts and the development of goodpractices in terms of engineering analysis, problem solving, experimentation andreporting which would lay a foundation for engineering science courses in the sophomoreyear? The course has leaned in both of these directions over the last few years. Recentlythe course has sought to achieve a balance and be, on one hand, fun and interesting forthe students and at the same time provide some significant coverage of some importanttopics in engineering and introduce the design process.Team

The continuous improvement topic in HEI is relatively new to a broad public.

, the need for change must be identified. Once identified, a formal introduction to thefundamentals of project management and team culture prior to a capstone experience may berequired. A number of programs have embedded a project management course within itsengineering curriculum to train students before undertaking a capstone project [5,9,11]. So howwell do students embed these skills within their projects? The integration of project and teammanagement can be studied by looking at the direct outcomes of projects and by capturing thestudent feedback on how well they utilized these skills within their projects.In this research, we studied student perceptions of their efforts in managing projects and teams.Two quantitative surveys focused on

Graduate students in EngineeringManagement gain knowledge through traditional engineering lectures, guest speakers’presentations, and through study of related cases and articles. Most courses also requirecompletion of a short project. Finally, the Capstone Project serves to integrate the students’knowledge through applied research and development. Typically through the Capstone Project,students lean to respond well to challenges presented at the workplace. The Capstone Projectrequires about half of the time to develop a
