The Acoustic Shaping project was started by a team of AE sophomoresin 1996. Results from the project have demonstrated the feasibility of forming complex anduseful shapes in microgravity from pulverized material using sound waves, and correlated theshapes to mathematical predictions. In this paper, the genesis and evolution of the program

In response toindustry demands for more practical engineering graduates, many engineeringcolleges have implemented capstone design projects as well as to respond toemerging ABET requirements1. A survey by Todd, et al. found that about 60% ofengineering programs use industry based projects for some or all of their capstonedesign courses1.
