The model acknowledges the importance of the completed projectwhile also expanding the user’s view outward to include the process elements. The outer circlerepresents the project process, which binds the stakeholders together. A goal of any kind ofcommunity engagement is to create reciprocal partnerships where each partner is respected,brings expertise, and resources and receives value from the partnership.

Capstone projects are oftenmultidisciplinary 4, further replicating the types of projects students will experience in industry.Capstone projects can be defined as project-based learning. Project-based learning brings skillsand knowledge together to solve an ill-defined or poorly formed project 5. This is epitome of thecapstone experience. Students generally have their capstone

the faculty in the Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE)department have participated in these workshops. To encourage “buy-in” from the departmentsand to ensure better integration of EML, each department has a designated “EML Champion”that is a veteran of the EML faculty workshop and has implemented EML into their own classes.At Villanova University, the reticence on the part of some CEE faculty could be attributed toseveral misconceptions: EML is about start-ups, making widgets, and the faculty does not havethe appropriate experience. The responses that had the largest impact to dispel thesemisconceptions were:  EML is not about start-ups and widgets: it is about thinking creatively and creating value for society, which are

Wulf further noted that, “Science is analytic — it strivesto understand nature, what is. Engineering is synthetic — it strives to create what can be.”13Whereas, Bush recognized that the primary responsibility for scientific progress is dependent upon that small bodyof high caliber men and women in the research universities and in the government research laboratories, whounderstand the fundamental laws of nature and are

From an EE view, they have too little hardware experience touseful interfacing and according to CS, programming embedded microcontrollers in assembly orC is insufficient. This would probably be satisfactory if most CE graduates went to work in hightechnology companies like microelectronic industry, but this simply not the case.
