This paper also provides direction to the faculty for whichtypes of projects should be pursued for optimal educational benefit and to pinpoint areas thatmight need improvement in project design and implementation.1. IntroductionEngineering design courses provide valuable design experience for engineering students. Thecapstone design courses has gained considerable attention ever since it was found that the studentoutcomes set forth by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) areachievable in this course1 . Although capstone design courses are commonly taught at mostengineering schools, how they are taught and what they include varies widely2. Manysuggestions have been made to improve the
goals like finishing quickly and getting the question right) spent less time on theassignment and showed ineffective problem-solving strategies such as seizing on their first ideaand freezing on that solution even when asked to review their work.This paper investigates students’ epistemic beliefs in a lab setting. Laboratory study is animportant part of many engineering courses. Laboratory instruction has many purposes assummarized in Feisel and Rosa’s seminal paper [6]. Laboratory instruction has undergone manychanges in response to changes in social and technological factors. Though most programsrequire laboratory instruction and 95% of faculty strongly believe laboratories are an essentialpart of engineering education, there is no consensus

competencies in the current eraof integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in pre-collegeeducation [9]; [10]. CT is also an essential requirement for future engineers since these skills arenecessary for solving complex technological problems for all engineering professionals [11];[12]. CT, as defined by Wing [13], is “solving problems, designing systems, and understandinghuman behavior, by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science” [p. 9]. CT hasbecome a core competency for the 21st century. In essence, CT integration in pre-collegeeducation has been promoted by stakeholders, policymakers, and educators across formal andinformal settings [14]; [15]; [16]. Research suggests that the integration of CT offers
