Emerging trends and transformations in engineering education demand structured course and curriculum frameworks that prepare graduates to meet local, national, and global industry and societal needs. This webinar introduces a structured framework for designing and delivering a Senior Capstone Design Course that aligns with multidisciplinary learning, industry-integrated problem-solving, project-based pedagogy, and competency-based outcomes. The webinar equips faculty and students with practical, feasible, and manageable strategies for guiding capstone teams through the project cycle, including project management, problem scoping, multidisciplinary research, teamwork, communication, concept generation, engineering analysis, prototyping, testing, and delivery. Special emphasis is placed on experiential learning, the responsible use of AI, critical thinking, innovation, sustainability, and societal relevance, all of which are essential pillars of modern engineering education. By the end of the webinar, participants will be prepared to implement a scalable, capstone framework that enhances student readiness across diverse engineering disciplines and supports the goals of engineering education ecosystems.
