Using Standards in the Engineering Program

Incorporating standards into the capstone design course can be an effective way of demonstrating the value of standards to the design process and helping students learn about standards. Students become aware that standards provide many benefits not only to practicing engineers but also to capstone design teams. In my capstone design course, I focus on two major benefits of standards and present two opportunities for students to incorporate them into their projects.
