Those that do typically only allow for interactionbetween groups within the same overarching discipline such as Mechanical or ElectricalEngineering. Ideally, the capstone experience is meant to foreshadow the type of interaction andwork that a student will engage in, easing their transition into the work environment followinggraduation. In industry, engineers are expected to work collaboratively with experts in severaltechnical and non-technical domains.

Through this process, many students appear to bethemselves transformed. Each year over one thousand students ranging from freshman to PhDs complete theirsafety orientation as PRL members.
