the more common waysof incorporating this type of experience into the program is to require some sort of design and/oranalysis project as part of the capstone course(s). 2Various methods have been used to devise such a project. Some schools create open endedprojects designed to simulate real life scenarios[2]. Others try to incorporate competitive aspectsinto their projects by either having various groups work on the same project, or by entering oneof the many design competitions available for students. A third approach is to use industriallysponsored projects.Many people have written about open ended projects formulated by the course

the average studentperforms 2% better than predicted and the distribution of this difference is negatively skewed (-0.64) indicating the bulk of the students outperform the prediction.Also notice in Figure 1 that no students were predicted to finish with above a 93%. This is likelydue to the fact that few students earn all A’s and A+’s in previous coursework, so very few havea GPA higher than 4.0. This prediction, therefore, fails to predict that students will score an A+in a future course. 100% 95% 90% Actual Performance (in CE300) 85% 80% 75
