Though the pedagogyof capstone design course varies from university to university, program to program, many of theideas and practices from this trial can be incorporated into many different capstone designcourses.References 1.

components for most of the students in the courseare shown together in Figure 4.) The students were free to select what part of their work wouldbe 3-D-printed and how that item would be incorporated into the overall sculpture. This resultedin a variety of choices by the students.In Figure 5, the 3-D-printed pieces were balloons, mounted above plaster mountains. The twomedia (plastic and plaster) were thus physically separated. The artist (Student A) provided thefollowing commentary about their piece: “It is ironic that humans live within a physical body, but what makes us human is what we carry in our minds and heads. I decided to abstractly apply this idea to my project. The mountainous landscape below the balloons represent[s] our physical

a student enrolls into an institution perceivedas having a particular identity, s/he must engage with that identity and ultimately choose whetherto accept or reject it as personally relevant and desirable or tolerable. Engineering students,particularly at a STEM-intensive institution, must engage with the broader cultural perceptionthat engineers are geeks; at MT, students often refer to themselves and their peers as “engi-nerds,” so closely is the identity of an engineer tied to being geeky or nerdy. APS data indicatethat this process of identification is emergent; first-year students react differently than second-year students to the connection between geeks and engineers. The shift among MT students is todistance themselves from being

At the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, (UMES) a steadymovement toward more complex design has been the experience of the first yearengineering students enrolled in Introduction to Engineering Design class. TheEngineering and Aviation Science Department uses its unique programs in AviationSciences as well as the basic engineering program as a spring board to seek outmeaningful projects that compliment both units in the Department.
