Students reported that the projects positively contributed to theirunderstanding of course material. We also found that students’ awareness of the GrandChallenges and the role that signal processing can have in finding solutions increased. A numberof students indicated that they plan to pursue more in-depth projects inspired by what theylearned during the laboratory.1.

. Forthat reason, capstone projects are increasingly used as a result of both ABET (AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology) requirements and strong consensus among educators andindustry that students need hands-on practical design experiences. Capstone projects may be oneof the best ways to evaluate how well students have learned to apply technical competencies [8,9]. In fact, the ability to assimilate, assess, and apply knowledge while building deeper levels ofunderstanding demonstrates mastery [10, 11].Although literature about capstone use in engineering confirms its usefulness in the academythere is limited studies regarding graduate-level capstone use in engineering.

First, the instrument can be used to evaluate the authenticity level for engineeringlearning in communities of practice. Besides, many new engineering initiatives such as PBL andExperiential learning have focused on the creation of authentic learning contexts. So future research canuse the instrument to make a further understanding of the authenticity in different kinds of engineeringlearning situations.
