This paper details the expectations of students beginning a two-coursesequence in the capstone curriculum. The student survey data led to a rebalancing of the curriculumto one that was solely based on “how-to-do” senior design projects to one that still includes “how-to-do" lecture themes but now includes lecture themes in innovation and entrepreneurship
