prepares students for open-ended team projects in the second course. This paperdescribes an easily adaptable model for a “pre-capstone” course that prepares students for ateam-based capstone experience in electrical engineering. The course is broadly adaptable sinceit has many similarities with the structure, outcomes, and grading methods of other capstonecourses nationwide1.Outcomes for the pre-capstone course were chosen based on observed deficiencies in studentperformance in solving open ended projects as part of a team in the second capstone course. Thecourse was structured on a cognitive apprentice model. In the cognitive apprentice model,experts model behaviors or skills for novices who then practice the skills on their own.Continuous

inserts are an integral part of machining operations. In the continual search for costeffectiveness in manufacturing we turn our focus to an attempt to reduce tooling cost byimproving the life of cutting inserts. There has been continued research conducted to increasecutter tool life with various applications of cutting fluids, speed and feed rates, and the use ofcoated cutters. One newer approach, cryogenic processing, has been promoted as an effectivemethod of extending the useful life of different cutting tools used in the manufacturing process.This research area provides an excellent opportunity to apply real life research into capstonedesign projects.
