In evaluating peers in engineering courses anothervariable is where the teamwork experience falls on the spectrum of team projects. On oneextreme of this spectrum are fully cooperative experiences in which the team works togethertowards a common goal. This extreme is defined by a single shared experience. On the otherextreme are “divide-and-conquer” projects. Here a team assigns each individual separate taskswhich each contribute to a shared team goal. Such approaches—an example is the jigsawteaching technique—are defined by unique experiences for each individual. This approach iscommon to many capstone design courses.This report looks at peer evaluation in a

Student teams design, build, and troubleshoot FPGA-based projects composed of common embedded systems peripherals, including input/output and/or electromechanical devices, and complex digital integrated circuits. The design experience is progressive, requiring each successive subsystem to be incorporated without disturbing previously completed subsystems. Furthermore, the design experience is based on a learning approach that motivates student learning and develops skills required by the student in a future professional capacity. These skills include designing to specification, teamwork, communication, and lifelong

To accomplishthis, a critical thinking assignment and guest speaker were used. For the critical thinkingassignment, students had to research and write about an engineering project that improvesthe quality of life for a given population. These were chosen from a series of web sitearticles highlighting humanitarian engineering projects, development initiatives, andsustainability projects in third world countries.

First, manycapstone projects are sponsored by industry. The capstone course must provide students with thetools and guidance necessary to provide a quality product to their industrial customers. Second,since many students seek employment after graduation, industry becomes an important customeras they hire new graduates. A capstone course should assist in providing students with the skillsthat are valuable to industry. Providing students with marketable skills, therefore, serves theneeds of both students and industry. Customer needs
