the roles played by industry,government, and academe in technology development have not only changed, but have becomemore complex. Industry has developed educational programs to train their employees in skillsthat directly impact their job responsibilities, universities have placed more emphasis on thegeneration and capitalization of intellectual property rights, and government has encouragedindustry-academic partnerships that are intended to address the needs of local and nationaleconomies.The ability of research universities to commercialize new developments through technologytransfer has shown a significant increase.

SVSU attempts to include all of these aspects that should be includedin an ABET accredited capstone design course2. Inherently capstone design projects challenge thestudents in the above ways. The overall learning that takes place over the entire design process isthe student’s educational benefit.

This is due to the increased use of novel and high strength materials, thewidespread use of welded construction, the design of large structures, and operationsunder more extreme conditions in the interest of efficiency. In addition, as new areas oftechnology are developed, novel failure problems will inevitably appear. Should failureanalysis become a required topic in metallurgical and materials engineering curricula? Inall engineering curricula? Since failure analysis encompasses robust design situations,ethics

Such attributes are still considered important as demonstrated by more recent studies [3]and are taken into account in assessing quality of education [4]. These attributes are fundamentalto the “new” rules of the accreditation board for engineering and technology [5].The extent of these attributes is usually assessed through a successful completion of a technicalproject before graduation. The way is paved for the technical aspects of such project by the workdone in numerous laboratory courses where students perform experiments with progressivelevels of sophistication in both design and analysis.

However, they have limited recent experience working in industry, and we recognizedthere have been significant changes in the way engineering design is practiced. For example,today an engineer usually works as part on an interdisciplinary team rather than alone, and he orshe must be more aware of the economic, social and ethical realities that constrain anengineering solution. Consequently, we decided that the consultors could assist the faculty byplaying the role of clients for a design project, thereby providing a practical flavor to the course.As clients the consultors would ask students to prepare proposals
