,geographic separation, or social distancing requirements could make it otherwise infeasible. Thispaper reports on the perception and impact of all these tools on student satisfaction in the course.IntroductionBackgroundCapstone Design courses are commonly implemented in undergraduate engineering curriculumto satisfy ABET accreditation requirements [1] and are an effective method to provide studentswith experience developing solutions for real-world design problems. Past research [2, 3] showsthe merit of these Capstone Design courses and describes the function of these courses. Acrossvarious Schools and Colleges, Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) has over 1000students from around 200 teams to work on their course projects each semester

skills – critical thinking(CT) and problem solving (PS) is a focus of STEM education reform [1]. Specifically, outsidethe confines of traditional classroom settings, students are not able to recognize, recall, andutilize the science and math content needed for problem-solving in authentic everyday problems[3]. One reason for this inability to recognize, recall and utilize the needed science and mathcontent could be that students are not learning and practicing the utilization of multidisciplinarycontent in the context of designing solutions to authentic problems. The Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS) have a common thread of engineering design from kindergarten to 12th gradeexplicitly recognizing the need for students learning science in

:(1) Set Goals - Making a Plan to Review Your Curriculum (2) Develop or Validate ProgramOutcomes (3) Gather Evidence (that those outcomes are effectively being taught and addressed)(4) Revise and Reassess. The framework discussed by Kolomitro (2017) makes sense as curriculumdesign process should always be cyclical and recurrent because of the changing factors of theprofession requirements. Therefore, there must be a direct connection between academia andindustry to fill any gap that may cause a negative impact on the process of teaching and learning.Through academic research and experimentation that are built on the profession needs, there willbe generations who are able to conquer any challenges of humanity in the future.Let us consider some

All interview sessions were audio-recorded and transcribed.Teachers completed the teacher background survey prior to unit implementation. The surveycomprised ten open-ended items that asked about their background (e.g., education, teachingexperience, and expectations from this project) and 15 items on a 5-point Likert scale (1 =strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree) pertaining to teachers’ perceptions of the engineeringdesign process and its implementation in the classroom. The validated items were adapted fromthe Design Engineering and Technology Survey (DET). The DET was originally developed byYasar et al. [43] and later re

assessed in a study by Jesiek et al. [4] that identified 38categories of EER studies published in journal articles and conference proceedings over a four-year period between 2005 and 2008. Among the most common categories were "instructionaltechnologies", "assessment", and "collaborative learning". Since then, EER has beencontinuously evolving as an internationally recognized field of research [4].EER and technical (or "pure") engineering research have many similarities [1] yet the tworesearch paradigms have significant differences [5]. First, engineering research is typicallygrounded upon universal and reproducible laws of nature, whereas EER relies heavily ontheoretical frameworks that lack uniform consensus among social science researchers
