Abstract
The Capstone process helps prepare Civil Engineering students for a rapidly evolving practice now facing many urgent social, economic and environmental pressures. Recent experience in identifying suitable capstone projects and working effectively with industry collaborators and student teams will be discussed. The project portfolios will be reviewed, and the approach to recruiting and retaining collaborators, working with faculty advisors, and supporting student teams will be summarized. Lessons learned from all these perspectives provided important adjustments to the uOttawa approach, which in past semesters has succeeded in providing all students in as many as to 25 teams in a semester with an industry collaborator and a valuable opportunity to enhance their skills in communications, planning, creative engineering solutions, and interdisciplinary teamwork.
