Abstract
Capstone Course Sequence for Engineering Technology Students Abstract This paper discusses the capstone experience for the students of the Applied Engineering Technology (AET) program at Drexel University. AET was introduced at Drexel University in 2002 as a five-year co-op-based program with a mission to “provide contemporary students with an academic foundation and practical education in engineering technology through an outstanding curriculum and applied research program, and the participation of our students in one of the nation's most successful cooperative educational programs.” The Senior Design Project provides major evidence in demonstrating how well the program meets its mission. Program Educational Objectives (PEO) are consistent with the AET mission and the general ABET outcomes.1 The three-term nine-credit course sequence of the senior design project during the senior year is discussed term-by-term in detail. Groups of three or four students pick the topics of the project recommended by the faculty, industry representatives, or chosen by the students based on their experience during co-op cycles. This capstone experience allows students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills at a professional level. The course sequence is finalized by the completion of a working prototype and a presentation of the project to the Senior Design Project Committee, AET students and faculty, and general audience during the third week of May.
