Powered by www.slayte.com The Design Firm Model as Applied to Capstone DesignAs the culminating experience in an engineering program, capstone design provides students a glimpseinto real-world design. Yet, real-world problems are complicated and dynamic. How, then, can we pushthe boundaries of successful capstone design programs to encapsulate an experience that more directlymimics the complexities and diversities that exist in professional practice? We propose a model forcapstone design that more closely approximates professional engineering practice with students workingon multiple projects, each on a distinct timeline and each with a different team of participants.

This paper reports progress and results oftwo real-world environmental sensing projects and the impact on graduate learning. The first project is the design and development of a microclimate system. This isa system for use on the land and incorporates sensors that can detect temperature, light,soil moisture, and soil temperature. The design with Crossbow motes, daughter sensorboard, and powering methods will be discussed in the paper. The second related project is a water quality monitor. The project is through thesupport and collaboration with a local non-profit organization, WATR. The water

For students, industry partnerships in capstone are seen as providing an intersection ofstudents’ academic learning and their future careers in industry. Our institution supportssponsored projects that can prepare students to approach open-ended problems, improve designand communication skills, incorporate stakeholder needs, and work effectively on teams. Theconnections they build with industry partners can also be the beginning of a professionalnetwork. Furthermore, experience working on a real-life project can help students identify orclarify their career path within engineering.
