The intent wasto provide a true “capstone” experience, where students in each degree program could combine theirskills to achieve the successful completion of a project. The primary objective of the capstoneexperience is to combine all aspects of the planning, design, and construction phases of a project intomeaningful education experience which mimics “real-world” design and construction practices.Students are required to use all of the knowledge and skills that they have acquired throughout theireducational experience to develop the documentation required for actual project construction (designdrawings, cost estimates

Cost-effective microfabrication and characterizationfacilities were utilized to conduct the lab projects. The preliminary assessments indicate thatstudents prefer significant laboratory experience and that learning of lecture concepts of the twotypes of devices is enhanced.

Furthermore, student/staff ratios were very high; hence there was no capacity for any effort fromthe academics. Some academics felt that undergraduates were unmotivated and that there was no value toengaging with them outside the classroom environment. In order to find ways to address these problems, andprovide students with a space to develop sense of belonging and engage with their peers through a co-curricularexperience, the School of Civil Engineering in 2015 developed the Icarus program.

Boud states that if learner experiences feelings 5that prevent further reflection, then the learner must find some way to regain flexibility (p. 29).A common detraction from using reflective practices in engineering is that the students willfocus too much on the emotional aspect of the project, such as complaining about the amountof work to be done or the dysfunction of the team. To help avoid this issue, reflective promptscan be worded to address discoveries and anticipations. This would allow the analysis to focuson how the projects and student work would be impacted by new information
