accredited B.S. degree program inelectrical engineering technology. Most of the students are adult learners, who are already employed andseeking professional advancement. The capstone course enrollment varies between 5 and 20 students ineach semester. For their capstone projects, these students are formed into teams of 2-4. Students in eachteam collaborate in concept and ideation stages, as well as manage the projects using projectmanagement techniques. The use of project management techniques is critical, as the team developspreliminary designs for solutions that each team member will implement using hardware circuits orhardware-software systems during the latter half of the term. Each team member then hones into onesolution for a problem in his

expected to have acurriculum culminating in a major design experience, commonly referred to as either a “seniordesign” or a “capstone” project, based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework. One challenge that programs face is providing appropriate technical and professionalfeedback to students on their capstone projects. For example, students may be working in anapplication domain in which the faculty member has limited knowledge, or may be using newertechnologies that the faculty member has not used before. To overcome these problems, it isoften advantageous for the team to partner with an industrial mentor. The industrial mentor canprovide technical assistance to the project as well as provide impartial and unbiased feedback

This paperdescribes an easily adaptable model for a “pre-capstone” course that prepares students for ateam-based capstone experience in electrical engineering. The course is broadly adaptable sinceit has many similarities with the structure, outcomes, and grading methods of other capstonecourses nationwide1.Outcomes for the pre-capstone course were chosen based on observed deficiencies in studentperformance in solving open ended projects as part of a team in the second capstone course. Thecourse was structured on a cognitive apprentice model. In the cognitive apprentice model,experts model behaviors or skills for novices who then practice the skills on their own.Continuous
