Assessing a decade old capstone senior projects through ABET accreditation program outcomes

Abstract

Capstone design team project is such a course that allows the Engineering student to put into use the acquired knowledge from courses offered in the Engineering curriculum. The course in its entity fully represent in whole all the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education (ABET) program outcomes require for accreditation or substantial equivalent as the case may be outside the United State. In this work, we present the fundamental differences and our experience in organizing 10 years of capstone design team projects in Mechanical Engineering at Eastern Mediterranean University, Famagusta, TRNC.
