There is a great deal of literature with very good discussionson the various content and organization of capstone courses, as well as the drivers involved –ABET, industry needs, evolving engineering specialties, program specialties and needs, etc.There is little research, however, on the implication of capstone duration to its intendedobjectives, and there are contradictions in the findings that are available, as mentioned byGriffin8.

In addition Engineers usually work in teams so ourprojects are often undertaken in teams, and the interviews and demonstrations are presented bythe Design team, while staff examine group members individually to give a fair assessment.Confidential peer evaluations are used to monitor group dynamics and unequal efforts bystudents.The themes in design projects take students through each phase.

Finally, the students were assessedcontinuously with respect to their technical contribution, working techniques and interactionwith their peer group at national and international level. They were also probed regarding theiropinion on various aspects of the project using interviews and forms.

In order to improve quality of life and increase work productivity, previous generationshave created a ‘throw away society’, a complex, yet easy-to-use equipment, devices that are difficultto disassemble and too costly to repair. As compared to peers of twenty years ago, not manyteenagers of today have repaired their own bicycle or watched a parent repairing a toy or a kitchenappliance. How many have repaired a car or measured pieces for precision fit while rebuilding anengine? These activities became substituted by computer games, hence many manual and simpletechnical skills do not have a chance to be developed.

During these experiences, students observe the behaviors,norms and attitudes that are prevalent among the profession’s practitioners. During this time,students begin to craft their professional identity by “trying on” possible images of themselves tosee how well they fit 11. One way these images are established is through the individual’sprofessional developmental network, and the relationships students have with members of theirprofession and learning community (e.g their department or research group) 12.

Oral communication in the broadest context is a learnable skill.[5] Despite this,studies from around the world reveal that it is the competency most frequently reported as Page 21.46.2being deficient in the engineering workplace.

. The forums ofMOOCs represent a possible focal point for learners, providing a venue for tens of thousands ofindividuals to share ideas and insights around a common topic. In terms of learner intent, somelearners might be motivated solely by the availability of thousands of peers in a singlecommunity, and have no intentions to complete any of the course assignments. While thisappears to be a plausible reason to enroll in a MOOC, very little is known about how forumswith up to 100,000 students provide value to learners.To date, most research examining MOOC forums focus on the frequency of use and studentresponses to survey questions about the experience of using MOOC forums.
