The Engineering & Design Department at Eastern Washington University (EWU) has traditionally taught the Senior Capstone course for the Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) in a single 10-week quarter. Traditionally the course was more of a production run where students are required to design and produce a total of 15 fully functioning products. This was a good approach to the course when the students were a mix of MET and applied technology students. When the ME degree was added to the program in 2010, the course shifted more to a research and development focus than production. It requires one single functioning prototype instead of 15, and has ME and MET students working together since a separate capstone course was created for the applied technology students. This has definitely increased the complexity of the projects and made it easier to reach out to assist local industry. In order to successfully complete these projects, students must spend a lot of time on research and design before they begin building their working prototype. This was not the case when the course was more of a production run. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
