Engineering Education, 2007 A General Engineering Technology Program in Motorsports TechnologyAbstractSouthside Virginia, in particular the cities of Danville, Martinsville and the surrounding area, isthe home of Virginia International Raceway and a rapidly growing motorsports industry. Thereis a strong need for educational opportunities to support manufacturing and related industries inthis region. In the early 2000’s Patrick Henry Community College in Martinsville established anassociate of applied science degree in Motorsports Technology to help meet the need fortechnical support personnel. As the industry has grown it has become evident that engineers andtechnologists are needed at the baccalaureate and

The course sequence is distributed throughout the four years of the program, andculminates in the traditional capstone senior design course. One of the features of the newsequence was the requirement of a team project in each course, including oral design reviewsdocumenting the projects’ progress.

Further insight was gained as to how this material should be presented. In addition to supplying hardware and software, industrial corporate donors also supplied CDs and associated manuals and text materials to help support this instruction effort. 3, 4 Page 7.663.3 Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference and

. I. INTRODUCTION Capstone courses in which students participate in a design project are an accepted part of theengineering curriculum at most schools1. In the Department of Mechanical Engineering atVirginia Tech, the capstone experience is a two semester sequence of courses in which studentsdesign and implement a product or engineered system. The first course in the sequence,ME4015, introduces the product development process and stresses concept development andpreliminary design. The subsequent course, ME4016, focuses on detail design, implementation,and testing. The courses are taught in multiple sections with each section assigned a specificteam project. Enrollment in each section ranges from 5 to 30 students depending on the scope ofthe
