Capstone ProjectAbstractIn undergraduate engineering programs, ABET criteria requires a capstone or integratingexperience to allow students to develop competencies in technical and non-technical problemsolving. These capstone experiences typically take the form of a year-long or semester-longproject that requires a group of senior students to work as a team to identify, define, design,prototype, and test their final product to solve an engineering problem. Ideally the students onthese teams contribute fairly and equitably to the project so that each individual can develop theirskills, but it is not unusual to see students on the team who do not contribute their fair share.Often, graded assessments in these capstone courses are team submissions and

Activities from First-Year Engineering ProjectsAbstractIn April 2012, the Mind Trekkers group from Michigan Technological University attended the2nd USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington D.C. Mind Trekkers is an outreachorganization that focuses on making STEM accessible to all age groups through action-packedhands-on learning. This learning often takes place in short demonstrations or activities. One ofthese activities was modified from a first-year engineering project on wind energy as part of theIDEAS Project (DUE-0836861).For the semester project, student teams developed a bench-scale wind turbine. They measuredthe turbine performance by measuring the RPMs, torque, and wind velocity. They used Excel toanalyze their team and class

Group Projects in Engineering Using a Wiki Jeffrey J. Heys Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287AbstractGroup projects are common in undergraduate engineering course. Wikis are a new medium forgroup projects because they are webpages that are edited using the same software used to viewthe webpage. Advantages include the ability to record changes made by each individual (helpfulfor grading), ability to continuously monitor progress, and a reduced need for face-to-facemeetings for the group members. Projects based on Wikis also introduce new challenges such asthe need for the students to learn another new technology.IntroductionGroup projects are
