Research limitations/implications: The present study provides a starting-point for
further research in the international manufacturing sector.
Originality/value: Moreover, the framework has proven to be useful in improving
the European structure of the case company. This is a notable and promising side-effect of
the exploratory study, at least from a managerial point of view.

Abstract
This paper presents and assesses a framework for an engineering capstone design
program. We explain how student preparation, project selection, and instructor mentorship
are the three key elements that must be addressed before the capstone experience is ready
for the students. Next, we describe a way to administer and execute the capstone design
experience including design workshops and lead engineers. We describe the importance in
assessing the capstone design experience and report recent assessment results of our
framework. We comment specifically on what students thought were the most important
aspects of their experience in engineering capstone design and provide quantitative insight
into what parts of the framework are most important.
Comments on abstract 1:
(1) This abstract begins well with a concise statement of the objectives of the
paper, but then wanders from good technical writing style from there.
(2) The abstract is written in the first person (e.g. “We explain…”, “We
discuss…”, “We comment…”, etc.).
(3) No results are presented. This poorly written abstract describes only the
organization of the paper.
Example:
“Next, we describe… We comment specifically on what students thought were the
most important aspects of their experience in engineering capstone design…”
Instead, the abstract should summarize the actual results and how they were
obtained.
Example:
“A statistical analysis was performed on answers to survey questions posed to
students enrolled in a capstone design course at Georgia Tech. The analysis showed that
students thought the most important aspects of their experience in engineering capstone
design were quality of the instructor and quantity of student/instructor interaction time.”
