Abstract Every student in the Mechanical Engineering Technology Department must complete a Senior Capstone Design Project course sequence as a requirement for the partial fulfillment of the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology degree. Mechanical Engineering Technology students at the University of Cincinnati must design, build, and test their product for the satisfactory completion of the Senior Design Project course sequence. At many institutions the capstone projects do not include the build and test components. This paper gives a short description of the Senior Design course sequence, the list of pre-requisite design courses, the design process used by the students to complete their projects. It addresses issues, such as, team versus individual projects, industrial versus personal projects, etc. It also describes typical projects, two of which are being used in industry with minor modifications.

The objective of this paper is to provide ideas on how to better manage a team transition in a design project. Team transitions can be planned or can occur unexpectedly, in either case, disruption can be diminished by taking the appropriate measures. We present an approach on team transitioning and relate it to our experience with undergraduate senior design teams working on a collaborative project that lasts 1 year while the course is limited to 1 semester. Our observations and recommendations include where to start, damage containment measures, how to retrieve the project’s knowledge, what to look for in a replacement team, and how to improve the odds in the event of an unexpected transition.
