AB  -        On Teaching Capstone Design: The Role of Practitioners in                           the ClassroomAbstract:Teaching engineering design through senior projects or capstone design courses, withindustry involvement and support, has increased in recent years. Increasing the designcomponent in engineering curricula is part of an effort to better prepare graduates forengineering practice. While some design projects are still of the “made up” type carriedout by individual students, the vast majority of projects today deal with “real-worldproblems” and are usually conducted by student teams. The paper begins first, by brieflyreviewing the design as a “thought” process, focusing on several dimensions of “designthinking” and how “design thinking” skills are acquired. Second, the paper reports on thedevelopment, implementation, and subsequent evaluation of a senior design course at aninternational university, where practitioners have played a major role in planning andteaching the capstone course. The new restructured design course, co-taught bypractitioners from the Region, has met its declared objectives and exposed students toprofessional practice. The capstone experience, reported on in this paper, serves as amicrocosm of the four year program. Experiences and outputs from the course can beused to provide guidance and insights into curricular changes, teaching methods, andexposure to the practice. It also helps in establishing enduring connections with theindustrial sector.
