unfamiliarity of students withconcepts of other disciplines, and the lack of students’ awareness of the hands-on nature ofcapstone courses and the expectations associated with these courses. Also, the unfamiliarity ofinstructors with the abilities, work ethics, and personal issues of the current cohort of studentswithin the class makes it harder to assign students to teams.This paper introduces the notion of Mini-Projects within a capstone course as applied forstudents in the Department of Electrical, Computer, Software, and Systems Engineering atEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Mini-Projects are small projects that aim at introducingstudents to basic concepts of different engineering disciplines, while at the same time provideinstructors with

faculty alignment.Knowledge inherently divides itself into two related branches of learning. Traditional ordinaryknowledge is obtained from systematic, purposeful, organized information; contrariwise, higherknowledge is produced by the use of insight and other creative mind processes. The knowledgeage begins with ordinary knowledge coming from existing information and moves to higherknowledge as mental power increases. This dichotomy requires a broader interpretation ofknowledge from a noun to a verb basis. The result is knowledging, which then allows the solv-ing of new and different technical problems. However, knowledging is reversible – knowledgedecays first to informatics then to routine public information.Engineering faculty must begin

For students in materials engineering thecourse on mechanical behavior of materials takes place during undergraduate studies, forstudents in other engineering disciplines this course may be taken as a senior elective or ingraduate school. The foundations leading to this upper level coursework have remainedessentially unchanged for the last thirty to forty years.
