Actually one of the biggest current challenges is energy- itssources and conservation, which feeds into any kind of sustainable design. Lack of thermalprojects in capstone courses also may prevent interested students from making thermalsciences their focal area and future career. The relatively low number of thermal scienceprojects in capstone courses may be due to the fact that the instructors assigned to teachthese courses are specialists in other areas of mechanical engineering.This paper explores these issues through surveying capstone projects in a number ofuniversities. It probes capstone-teaching faculty and reflects on their attitudes towardthermal-science projects

Students measured urban, sub-urban, and rural storm waterrunoff volume to generate three different storm water runoff graphs using Microsoft Excel. Next,students generated the derivative graph to discover differences in rates of change of water runoffwithin these three watershed scenarios. The class then discussed how to relate their storm waterrunoff data to watershed characteristics, identified challenges associated with increased runoffrates in a urban setting
