c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Integrating The Charrette Process into Engineering Education: A Case Study on a Civil Engineering Capstone CourseABSTRACTAs engineering educators rethink the structure and value of capstone courses, many have turnedto practical applications. In order to reflect the recent approaches within engineering, capstonecourses can be enhanced through the integration of charrettes. Charrettes are hands-on,collaborative sessions where stakeholders come to a design consensus. These sessions provideopportunities for students to improve communication, technical evaluation, teamwork, peerevaluation and professionalism skills. This research provides a framework for adapting thecharrette

DISCUSSIONDesign thinking applied to higher engineering education is founded on actual challenges,research, and solutions [101], merging interdisciplinary and collaborative methods in project-based learning that emphasizes the holistic comprehension and resolution of intricate problemsand issues [11]. The utilization of design thinking as a pedagogical approach empowersengineering students to merge humanistic perspectives with their technical expertise, effectivelyaddressing intricate real-world issues. This approach lays a robust groundwork for students toacclimate to the demands of lifelong learning and future growth. Based on the

These abilities are taught and learned and make up thebasis for writing pedagogy in engineering education often called writing in the disciplines orwriting across the curriculum. The underlying the academic literacy practices in engineeringidentities resides an array of linguistic practices – what Gee would call ways of saying-being-doing-feeling.
