The course has ahands-on approach and students learn engineering fundamentals and specific engineering skillsthrough a series of dissection and design assignments. Resources were developed to allowstudents to fabricate their design projects at home and to use the Web rather than course staff as afirst source of information and guidance. In this way cost and teaching staff for the course wereminimized. The course has completed its third year and has gathered anecdotal evidence ofsuccess.I.

The results indicate that they are widely used to increase student awareness of soft skillsand as tools to subject them to “real world” open-ended problems. Napper and Hale4 presentedthe use of capstone senior projects as assessment tools for engineering programs. They discussedthe ABET requirement for the program outcomes and how a senior project serves as a goodindicator for student ability to work in teams and use critical thinking to solve open-endedproblems.Design projects were also used as a tool to enhance the learning in undergraduate courses.
