-course sequences that constitute the capstone designexperience. In the first course, student teams learn about the formal engineering design processand project management then develop a detailed proposal for a project to be implemented in thefollowing semester. Over the years, students from both electrical engineering and electricalengineering technology have worked in teams to complete their capstone projects. Whileelectrical engineering students may have a strong theoretical background, electrical engineeringtechnology students have strong hands-on experience, an important skill for building andtroubleshooting electronic systems. This paper provides details about our approach incoordinating the activities in the two-course capstone design
