高级项目或capstone类型的课程在工程院校已经存在多年。顶点课程为工程师学生提供了解决实际工程项目的机会，被视为重要的学习活动。为了了解凯普斯通教育的当前实践，对整个北美工程部门的凯普斯通课程进行了调查。这项研究是为1994年在杨百翰大学举行的顶点教育会议的进展而进行的，该会议汇集了对提高顶点经验感兴趣的工程教育工作者。本次会议由ASEE， ASME， SME和NSF主办。对这项研究的回应非常高，来自173所学校的360个系参与了调查。调查结果分为五个主要领域：受访者简介、课程描述信息、凯普斯通教育的教师参与、项目信息和凯普斯通教育的行业参与。图表提供了对调查问题的回答结果。
Senior project or Capstone-type courses have existed at engineering schools for many years. Capstone courses provide student engineers the opportunity to solve real-world engineering projects, and have been highly regarded as important learning activities. A survey of Capstone courses in engineering departments throughout North America was conducted in order to understand current practices in Capstone education. This study was conducted for presentation at the 1994 Advances in Capstone Education Conference, held at Brigham Young University, which brought together engineering educators interested in improving Capstone experiences. This conference was sponsored by ASEE, ASME, SME, and NSF. Response to the study was very high, with 360 departments from 173 schools responding to the survey. Survey results were categorized into five major areas of interest: Profile of the Respondents, Course Description Information, Faculty Involvement in Capstone Education, Project Information, and Industrial Involvement in Capstone Education. Graphs provide the results of responses to survey questions.
