Design ProjectsPrototyping is often a very important phase in a capstone design project. However, in manycases, prototyping decisions are made arbitrarily by students, adversely affecting the quality ofthe final product delivered. At The University of Texas at Austin we are developing a structuredprototyping strategy tool based on a synthesis of prototyping techniques that have been shown tobe effective. Our strategy tool leads designers through the process of making decisions aboutaspects of a prototype program, such as how many concepts to prototype, the number ofprototype iterations to complete for a given concept, and whether to use scaled prototypes. In thisstudy we evaluate whether explicit discussion of these prototyping decisions affects

The challenge for many engineering curricula is how to include, in arealistic way, this global dimension and increase the student’s awareness of the issues that areencountered. In the Purdue University Engineering Technology program, an international capstone project was createdto increase student awareness of the cultural differences that they will encounter in global projects.

In most of the Engineering Technology (ET) programs, capstone projects aredesigned for students to utilize their technical knowledge, problem solving skills, and projectmanagement skills to develop a product or a system related to their discipline. This paper presentsa methodology of utilizing the capstone course as a vehicle to enhance and assess student’s lifelong learning skills. During the semester long course, one student team signed up to learn thesubject of adhesive technology that is not taught in the current curriculum.
