Capstone Design: Project Process and Reviews (Student Engineering Design Workbook) provides a brief overview of the design process as well as templates, tools, and student design notes. The goal of this workbook is to provide students in multiple disciplines with a systematic iterative process to follow in their Capstone Design projects and get feedback through design reviews.
Students should treat this workbook as a working document and document individual/team decisions, make sketches of their concepts, and add additional design documentation. This workbook also assists in documenting student responsibility and accountability for individual contributions to the project. Freshman- and sophomore-level students may also find this workbook helpful for design projects. Finally, this workbook will also serve as an evaluation and assessment tool for the faculty mentor/advisor.
