earlier offerings of this project-based, team-oriented courseinvolved the type of corporate culture in which the design process took place, the nature of theproduct and an attempt to develop collaboration between students from engineering, marketingand design. The paper outlines the learning objectives for this course, its implementation andpresents a preliminary assessment of the impact of the changes.I. Introduction and Overview of the ExperimentThe capstone design class in the Mechanical Engineering program at Notre Dame has undergonea number of changes in the past few years that have altered the types of projects and theassociated technologies invoked by the students. The course is presented as a team-based,product-focused, design-build

This extended the existing notion of flexibility from a focus on the onlinelearning environment, to include new physical learning environments that could foster studentengagement through experiential learning on campus. These were to be informal, or non-teaching spaces – however the curriculum required change to promote conditions where studentswould need to work together in an independent way.The approach used to re-design the Engineering curriculum was to create a common first year ofstudy for students in the four year Bachelor and two year Associate Degree programs in thedisciplines of Mechanical, Electrical and Civil

The following two questions are addressed: 1) How canfaculty members develop their own continuous improvement plan to enhance their Capstoneproject management skills? and 2) How can faculty teach students to develop and utilizecontinuous improvement plans throughout a Capstone design project?IntroductionPrior to the adoption of ABET’s EC 2000 accreditation criteria, engineering programs wererequired to show that they were providing the proper curricula to their students. That is, tomaintain status as an ABET accredited program, the program had to simply demonstrate thatthey were delivering the courses needed to provide the proper subject matter to the students.

A variety of engineering topics are coveredduring class including unit conversion and dimensional consistency, data analysis andrepresentation, strength of materials, introduction to statics, introduction to fluid mechanics,introduction to heat transfer, and computer programming. Depending on the design projecttopic, some of the topics are studied in more depth. A workbook, written by this author, is givento each student and covers the course topics complete with example problems. These exampleproblems supplement problems covered during class.The students are instructed in the use of various design tools during the weekly two-hourdiscussion sessions. Most of the sessions are held in the dedicated COE freshman computer

UTAs are nominated forthe position by their Design Course instructor or respond to a recruitment call for the position.The selection and hiring of the UTAs is coordinated by the Keystone Program staff. UTAs areinterviewed and selected on the basis of their performance in the course, passion for teaching,organizational and time management skills, commitment to spending ~10 hours per week on thejob, and compatibility of their schedule.The Design Course context offers instructional challenges that are often different from those in atypical engineering/science

The team projects at the end of Models I and Models II were cited most often as the favorite topic in these courses. Students enjoyed the freedom to be creative and design their own “product”. Some of the students commented that they did not see how computer programming would help them in their chosen engineering discipline.
