本文讨论了小组规模和项目持续时间如何影响顶点设计方面的学习目标的学生，价值的行业赞助商和教师资源。该分析是基于调查结果和外部教师评估比较一个学期的产品与两个学期的顶点设计在工业和系统工程学院在技术的格鲁吉亚研究所提供。此外，我们检查是否声明的学习目标（技术写作技能，演讲技巧和技术分析）的课程提供价值的赞助商。我们的研究结果表明，一学期的课程受到学生和行业赞助商的青睐，需要的资源较少。我们还发现，虽然学生更喜欢较小的团体规模，但赞助商并没有明确的偏好。最后，我们发现，尽管技术分析与赞助商的美元价值显着相关，但技术写作技能和演讲技巧则不相关。
This paper discusses how group size and project duration impact capstone design in terms of learning objectives for the student, value to industry sponsors, and faculty resources. The analysis is based on survey results and an external faculty evaluation comparing a one‐semester offering with a two‐semester offering of capstone design in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In addition, we examine whether the stated learning objectives (technical writing skills, presentation skills, and technical analysis) for the course provide value to sponsors. Our findings suggest that the one‐semester offering was preferred by both students and industry sponsors and required fewer resources. We also found that although students prefer smaller group sizes, sponsors do not have a definitive preference. Finally, we found that although technical analysis is significantly correlated with dollar value to the sponsor, technical writing skills and presentation skills were not.
