Industry-sponsored product development competitions pose both opportunities andchallenges for senior design projects in engineering and engineering technology programs.Capstone design faculty recognize the value of industry-sponsored projects for involvingstudents in genuine practice of the design process, and participating in major competitions canresult in substantial resources, supportive sponsors, and enhanced motivation for students.However, such competitions may also impose timing, process, materials, fabrication, andperformance constraints that are not always encountered in a more typical

prepares students for open-ended team projects in the second course. 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
