The CogEx software platform was developed to take advantage of the digital world with innovative ideas to support designers work in both industrial and academic contexts.  \nThis paper presents a qualitative study on the usage of CogEx during capstone design projects in mechanical engineering. It explores its potential to eventually supersede a paper logbook. This study combines three pilot projects where 15 undergraduate students used CogEx for one semester and discussed their experience in a final interview. The focus is limited to individual usage in this study.  \nResults support that the platform has a good potential for engineering design education by replacing the paper logbook. The “extended concept mapping” structure was efficient to organize design work, and although the “concept-knowledge” separation needs refinement, it has good potential in building designer knowledge base.  \nKey words: Design practice, Capstone projects, Undergraduate, Qualitative, Learning technology  \nINTRODUCTION  \nMost undergraduate mechanical engineering programs in Canada use a capstone design project to teach and assess many of the competencies required by the program, notably design skills (Hurst and Nespoli 2015; Dym et al. 2005) . The program at Université de Sherbrooke exploits a major capstone design project that spans over 3 semesters and brings teams of students from project definition to fabrication and testing of a prototype. Experienced designers follow every team weekly and give  \nSPRING 2018 1  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nPotential of the CogEx Software Platform to Replace Logbooks in Capstone Design Projects  \none-to-one feedback and evaluation twice per semester. Students are taught to record all their work in a paper logbook, and this represents the main tool to support the whole activity. The method has proved its efficiency in the last twenty-five years at Université de Sherbrooke. Yet, technology has greatly evolved and much of the design work and information sources are now from the digital world. Paper is not appropriate to organize and manage the CAD files, web bookmarks, and all the collaboration exchanges often made on social network platforms. Many students are asking to use a digital logbook and teams are building their own amalgam of software (Microsoft Word, One-Note, Teamwork, Facebook, etc. ) . The heterogeneous tools between teams make it harder for the teacher to navigate and understand the whole of the design data, and it compromises the sustainability of design information for future use. In response to this need and in view of the opportunities that the digital world offers to support design in the industrial and academic contexts, a software platform called CogEx was developed to support work organization, learning and collaboration. CogEx is designed with breakthrough innovation in mind and thus suggests ideas that need to be tested. CogEx needs to be validated and explored with pilot studies. Capstone design projects of undergraduate engineering students has offered a rich experience for such research.  \nBACKGROUND OF THE STUDY  \nDecades ago researchers have worked to transition from the paper logbook to digital counterparts. The chemical and pharmaceutical industries have been at the forefront of the development and usage of such software. The result is a family of software called Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) used to store, retrieve and share laboratory records. For consistency, persistence and legal concerns, commercial ELN tend to force some structure ","cbCaiczbsPtkkPkj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiczbsPtkkPkj","pdf",3802091,25,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Background of the Study","[{\"question\":\"What problem does CogEx aim to address in capstone design projects?\",\"answer\":\"Students typically record design work in paper logbooks, which are less suitable for organizing and managing digital CAD files, bookmarks, and collaboration exchanges.
