A senior design course istypically the last bridge for students between undergraduate education and the engineeringprofession in their respective disciplines. The course differs from other lecture and laboratorybased courses in the engineering curriculum in fundamental ways. Many capstone senior designcourses include lectures to develop students’ knowledge of the product development process,project management, professional engineering practice, and the

of Georgia [12].The current approach was motivated by two primary goals: 1. Provide this education and training to all engineering students in the major without requiring additional courses. 2. Provide this education and training within the context of their team engineering capstone projects to improve their ability to apply what they have learned.These goals highlight perhaps the two main differences between explicit and non-explicit ELEprograms. The former programs are a separate course of study with the benefit of being muchmore rigorous, thorough and resulting in a certificate or minor, but at the cost of more selectparticipation and loss of elective courses as well as greater institutional expense.

approach involves providing students only a set of specifications that their design mustmeet. This method requires students to create their own lab instruction, work independently, anddraw their own conclusions. Through this method students are presented with challenges and areforced to use ingenuity and creativity to arrive at a solution - often leading to a better self-directed learning experience. Due to the difficulty and time required by design-based projects,the number of projects that can be completed in a fifteen-week semester is limited. An even more involved option, often used by instructors for capstone design projects [7],is the proposal-based method. This method allows students to define a project or problem thatinterests them
