While the current connected capstone course was designed with the fourinvolved departments in mind, a future goal is to provide the opportunity for collaborationbetween or among any number of disciplines. One main anticipated project output is a model fora multi-disciplinary capstone course that can be implemented across related and unrelateddisciplines at higher education institutions.References:[1] B.

Safety training is also an integral part of creating a culturethat has safety in mind, first and foremost.Recently, universities have started to place emphasis on safety and incorporate relevant coursesin their degree plans. At the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD), students from the safetymanagement program have the opportunity to work alongside engineering technology studentsduring the design and implementation stages of a senior capstone project. Safety managementstudents benefit from this interaction by getting an opportunity to apply their knowledge andskills to a project that attempts to mimic a “real” life process. Similarly, engineering technologystudents become aware of methods to assess risks and procedures that must

introduce these tools into a curriculum that is alreadycrowded. As engineering programs struggle to find accommodations, many studentsreach their senior year before realizing an opportunity to apply these sophisticated analy-sis methods- frequently with little or no training. A recurring example is that of students’a priori construction of a system component followed by a perfunctory stress analysis us-ing a commercial computer code. Often the analysis performed is irrelevant or incom-plete. The notion of analysis being an essential element in the design process can be lostin the minds of many students. Therefore, the ME department faculty at SDSM&T to-gether with campus partners are integrating into the traditional junior-level core curricu
