Initially, the single-project capstonecourse format was developed as the best utilization of faculty and space resources indelivering a meaningful project to a dozen senior students. But as the senior class sizeshave grown to the 20 to 28 range and soon will exceed 30, assessment results have shownthat the direct, broad, and synergistic benefits of the design experience provided to theTCU engineering students outweigh alternative capstone course formats used by largerprograms. The paper highlights the course’s current operation mode, as well as theassessment process results. Page 13.582.2

Finally, theoretical results are reviewed using computerresults and appropriate modifications are applied to the design. Students also perform extensivetests of concrete mixes every semester, design and build actual beams, columns, or slabs that aretested to failure.

A principal benefit to employers is an abilityfor graduates of accredited engineering programs to pursue professional licensure. In theconstruction industry, professional licensure is not required and the benefit to constructionemployers is not as clear. Construction industry personnel were surveyed regarding theirperceptions of graduates from accredited construction education programs, specifically whethergraduates of an accredited program are preferred for employment and receive greater salaries, areassigned greater responsibility and are promoted at a greater rate, and possess greater technicaland/or
