Even if parts of the story were mythical, most people can picture Newton inspired by afalling apple, Franklin investigating electricity with a kite in a lightning storm, and the Wrightbrothers struggling to keep their aircraft aloft for thirty seconds.This paper aims to introduce how a story-building platform applies to the engineering capstonedesign (senior design) project with the example of the two-year “Badger” senior design project atLeTourneau University, and the remainder of this paper mainly describes the following keycomponents: project value, history-planning and results of the example

It also demonstrated howgraduating seniors can retain engineering core knowledge by introducing the Kolb’s methodsinto the capstone design course. And how the quality of capstone can improve by balance teamswith complimentary learning styles.While there is more research to be completed, this paper advances the theory that engineeringstudents can benefit from understanding the Kolb learning cycle. Follow up discussion with thecapstone students identified that they were unaware of different methods of learning styles andlearning cycle.

These tests focused on basicconceptual questions regarding core chemical engineering topics, which were also covered in thefall introduction to chemical engineering course (a sample test is given in the supplementarymaterial). It appears students who did not pick up on these concepts in a traditional lecture-basedcourse, were able to gain better understanding through hands-on design projects.Underrepresented groups – Lastly, we observed no statistical difference in any of our data withregards to traditionally underrepresented groups of students.

In other words, we would like to organize design techniques in terms of thedesign process stage in which they are most appropriately applied and in terms of theprimary cognitive operation (divergent vs. convergent thinking) they support within thatstage. The stages involved in the engineering design process are discussed extensively in theliterature3,4,9,19,20,23, so we will not review them here. Most design process models share acommon understanding of these stages, which typically include some form of needsgathering, concept generation, detailed design, prototyping, and testing – although differentterms may be used in each case.
