AbstractSenior capstone programs at US universities offer an excellent opportunity to teach engineeringconcepts to not only the engineering seniors in the capstone program, but also to the next generationof students currently in K-12. To achieve this, engineering students are given the challenge to createan exhibit in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) that, in a fun way,conveys fundamental concepts to K-12 students.An example of this is a recently concluded senior capstone project in Mechanical Engineering atTexas A&M University called Electrocycle. Using a standard bicycle and a small generator, theexhibit effectively conveys concepts of energy generation, conversion and storage, as well as basicprinciples in mechanical and

Thispaper describes the development and implementation of simple open-ended projects, used inconjunction with the laboratory portion of the course, as a means for increased studentunderstanding. Project topics have ranged from proving basic equations to investigating morecomplex problems, such as the effect of window treatments on cooling requirements or thefeasibility of alternative energy sources.
