the confinesof statics and controls, vibrations and electrical circuits, and chemicals and asphalt, may bechallenging. However, what our students come to campus with is outside those technicalpursuits. They arrive with backgrounds in music and art, writing and voice, and a variety ofpursuits that rest on the other side of the table from our engineering courses. I believe that weneed to help our students at least investigate areas that may not be prescribed by ouraccreditation boards and colleagues. Not only can these unique foci provide relaxation for ourstudent, but they also can give them a wider view of the world around them. If they already havedabbled with ideas of music, art, and composition; why shouldn’t we use those interests

learn new skills and knowledge, whennecessary, through the design process to complete their capstone design projects. Students cannourish their life-long learning ability and gain some life-long learning experiences [6~8]. Somecapstone design projects are industrial-sponsored. Therefore, this is the best approach tofacilitate and initiate students' transition from academic to industrial reality [9~13]. Due to theproperties of capstone design project courses, capstone design project courses are always the bestcourse for assessing ABET (the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) studentoutcomes [14~16 ].In 2015, our mechanical engineering curriculum converted a one-semester capstone designproject course into a two-semester capstone
