Abstract :
The approach to engineering design varies from one school to the next but all engineering programs understand and emphasize the importance of design in their curriculum. The article presents an approach to a capstone senior design course that strives to duplicate a real industrial design project experience for the students. Accordingly, team projects are favored and encouraged, and students are held to strict project specifications, deadlines, and deliverables
