the past decade.1. IntroductionCapstone design courses offer engineering students a culminating design experience on anapplied engineering project. With a longstanding history reinforced by support from theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), these courses have becomecommon in engineering departments across the United States. The composition of capstonecourses, however, varies widely. In 1994, Todd et al.1 conducted a survey of engineeringdepartments throughout North America to capture educational and logistical practices incapstone design courses at the time. Their results2,3 provided a wealth of information about theirrespondents' capstone courses plus comments about plans for future modifications.Since then, a number

As Levin and Shaker note, “full-time non-tenure-track faculty are deemed accomplices, albeit unwitting, to the erosion of the academic profession,faculty power, and undergraduate education” [3]. Early quantitative studies supported this notion, usinglarge national datasets to show that non-tenure-track faculty, especially part-time

years of engineering curricula had historically been devoted tothe basic sciences while the last two years had been devoted to engineering sciences. Based onan expressed desire from engineering employers that engineers not only be content experts, butalso have the abilities to communicate and work as a part of a team, some modifications wereintroduced to the traditional sequence to accommodate these needs [1]. Capstone courses wereintroduced into the senior year of engineering curricula in an effort to connect practicalapplications with the more theoretical nature of upper-level courses, helping prepare graduatesfor industry. This shift was moderately successful, but left many students still lacking exposureto practical information about
