Assessment of the capstone course by thosewho have participated in the course is essential to ensure that the course is producing engineeringgraduates that meet the demands of a rapidly changing technological and work environment.The assessment discussed in this paper was achieved by surveying 2004 graduating seniors.Seniors provided positive feedback on the course’s effectiveness and also offered suggestions forupdating its’ organization and structure.The paper begins with background information of USMA’s academic program followed by abrief description of the capstone course. A description of the survey and its methodology follow.Next, survey results are highlighted and analyzed. Conclusions and acknowledgments follow

other words,there is no “one correct solution.” Engineering design can be a very engaging pedagogicalstrategy, particularly with adolescents, because people can bring their values to their designsolution. Optimal solutions are also not stagnant and unchanging. For example, even if asolution were optimum at one moment in time for the specifications and constraints that wereimposed, new technologies, new opinions, and new perspectives might lead to redefined ordifferent solutions. This is a very empowering and unique feature of engineering that is insignificant contrast to scientific and mathematical understandings where hypotheses andtheorems may be refined but generally remain unalterable.

For Fall 2008, the course consisted of a two-hour lecture and one three-hourlaboratory session each week, with the course credit hours remaining at three. The combinedlecture/lab offering has been assisted by generous contributions from the USF faculty whodeveloped the WAMI Lab and RF/Microwave Circuits courses, which have been adapted ashardware and software lab experiences for the Baylor course and used in Fall 2008, and byAgilent Technologies [5] which donated Advanced Design System
