长达一年的高级设计顶点课程过去很容易管理;然而，在过去的几年里，它们在本质上变得越来越跨学科和技术性，以至于一个单一的教师顾问可能在项目的所有领域都没有足够的专业知识广度和深度来提供足够的指导和监督。俄亥俄州北方大学的电气与计算机工程和计算机科学系通过为每个高级设计顶点项目建立“项目审查委员会”来应对这一挑战，该委员会由三名具有适当背景和专业知识的教师组成，以指导项目。这种审查委员会结构可以在任何机构实施，为准确的评估和学生专业发展提供了更多的机会，并建立在以前关于顶点评估和设计标准的出版物的基础上。本文介绍了在我们修改后的顶点过程中成功实施的变化背后的细节。
Year-long senior design capstone courses used to be simple to manage; however, over the past several years they have become increasingly cross-disciplinary and technical in nature, to the point where a single faculty advisor will probably not have sufficient breadth and depth of expertise in all areas of the project to provide adequate guidance and supervision. The Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science Department at Ohio Northern University has responded to this challenge through the establishment of a “Project Review Board” for each senior design capstone project that consists of three faculty members with the appropriate background and expertise to guide the project. This review board structure can be implemented at any institution, provides greater opportunities for both accurate assessment and student professional development, and builds upon previous publications regarding capstone assessment and design standards. This paper presents the details behind the changes that were successfully implemented in our revised capstone process.
