This study provides an updated view of the marketing capstone course by sharing content including textbooks, cases, simulations, and engaged learning approaches and technologies used in teaching the course to undergraduate students. Using a content analysis methodology, we analyzed data from 122 syllabi from U.S.-based AACSB schools. Our findings…

The fifth of March 2020 was the 250th anniversary of an event commonly known as the "Boston Massacre," and to commemorate it, the author's upper-level history class staged an unscripted presentation of the resulting historical trial in conjunction with third-year law students enrolled in Practice Court through the Baylor Law School.…

The Autonomous Vehicles (AV) are a self-driving vehicle capable of sensing its environment and operating with minimal or no human intervention converting into a fully or partially automated vehicle. These automated vehicles have great potential to revolutionize the automotive industry and our daily lives. Thus, they are receiving a lot of…

Capstone experiences (CEs) are high-impact opportunities for students to integrate knowledge. While student perceptions of CEs are frequently evaluated, research lacks on faculty perceptions. Our multi-institutional survey identifies who teaches CEs, why, and what influences their design/delivery. Most participants were female, white/Caucasian,…

Scrum is a widely-used framework in industry, so many schools apply it to their software engineering courses, particularly capstone courses. Due to the differences between students and industrial professionals, changing Scrum is necessary to fit capstone projects. In this paper, we suggest a decision-making process to assist instructors in…

In our investigation of university students' knowledge about real numbers in relation to computer algebra systems (CAS) and how it could be developed in view of their future activity as teachers, we used a computer algorithm as a case to explore the relationship between CAS and the knowledge of real numbers as decimal representations. Our work was…

This authors propose that intentionally designed capstone courses enhance student learning. The capstone typology offered will assist educators in designing a capstone experience that allows students the opportunity to synthesize the learning they acquire as they complete their business and management education. This typology can provide a…

This paper outlines the content of a Master of Science in Information System degree and the development and deployment of the first two iterations of the capstone course. Research shows that a capstone course can be valuable for both students and future employers. The steps taken to prepare for the course and set up the capstone course are…

A goal of introductory physics for life sciences (IPLS) curricula is to prepare students to effectively use physical models and quantitative reasoning in biological and medical settings. To assess whether this goal is being met, we conducted a longitudinal study of the impact of IPLS on student work in later biology and chemistry courses. We…

School leaders enrolled in CPED-influenced and practitioner focused doctoral programs require specific research-based skills and knowledge that bridge both educational scholarship and practice in order to be relevant for both their dissertation process and school practice. In doing so, these doctorate in education (EdD) programs must critically…

The purpose of this research was to examine pedagogical factors that supported graduate-level Instructional Design students in the rapid adoption and integration of technology-based projects in under 7 weeks, previously accomplished in approximately 9-months. Project-Based Learning (PBL) pedagogy was adopted to redesign a course to scaffold and…

Students are attracted to innovation and entrepreneurship. However, it is challenging for them to take courses in I&E due to their already busy curriculums. This paper describes the "New Venture Design Experience," a one-year interdisciplinary program that pairs core and elective courses between the colleges of Engineering and…

Contribution: This paper furthers understanding of how to use studio culture to develop instruction that supports learners' epistemic development in the context of an engineering senior design course, with a focus on student development of epistemic frames. Background: Current capstone engineering design courses do not integrate the educational…

The content of most MBA capstone strategic management courses emphasizes general management theory and analytical skill development. Additionally, the design of the capstone is often tasked with providing practical application, integrative thinking, and experiential learning. A common critique of the capstone, however, is its insufficient delivery…

Recognizing the limitations of traditional research assignments, the two authors of this article--one a librarian and one a historian--set out to redesign a history capstone seminar to focus on the research process as much as on the research product: tipping the iceberg to look at what is underneath. The article begins with a brief overview of the…
