Abstract

In this pilot study, details of the implementation of multi-disciplinary senior design capstone project are presented. Students from all engineering disciplines at the university participated in three unique industry sponsored projects over the two-semester course sequence in Fall and Spring. Details of the projects, composition of teams, industry collaborations, and faculty and professional engineer’s involvement are presented. Work performed by students in each discipline, and its contribution to the overall project, is highlighted. Semester schedule, budget, and resources are also included. Most importantly, the benefits of this project to students in terms of knowledge and skills gained are emphasized.
