It can also provide a way for students to receive informal feedback on theirperformance from their industry sponsor (Savage et.al., 2007). Despite these positive results,there remains minimal literature on the use of industry members that actively participate informal assessment of students.Description of the Case StudyThe Construction Management Program in the Lyles College of Engineering provides studentswith two separate opportunities to participate in projects. The first is through a senior projectcourse and the second is through the final capstone course in the project. Both of these coursesare used to assess students’ abiliies to actively participate on project teams. These

Industry Engagement versus Faculty Mentorship in Engineering Senior Capstone Design CoursesAbstract:The senior design capstone course is an important experience for engineering undergraduatestudents. This course prepares students for industry by having students solve open-ended real-world problems. During the course, a student team defines a problem, plans an approach,develops a solution, and validates their solution, which culminates in oral and writtendissemination. Typically, undergraduate programs have provided students with facultymentors to develop a solution for a specific project. In order for projects and teams to besuccessful, the mentors must provide invaluable support, collaboration, and interest in
