He worked in industry for 24 years in product development in several companies/sectors before his current teaching role. Dr. Pardue spent 11 years in the Automotive industry with Cummins and, while there, was chair of the SAE filtration standards committee and a member of the corresponding ISO TAG. He was also the Director of Research and Advanced Product Development for the Filtration Business Unit. Dr. Pardue then spent 7 years as a consultant for several companies working on new product development. The final 6 years of his industrial experience was serving as VP of Research for IEM in the area of power distribution in data centers. In his role in the ME department, he has overseen 139 student projects. He has also been working with the other Senior Design instructors to have joint projects with ME, ECE, and CS teams working together, which would more closely resemble the industrial product development process.  \nDr. Sally J.

The MS Teams project site becomes the central repository for all the information regarding the student's work on their project. A focus of the design of the project site has been an effort to effectively determine the individual contributions ofa student versus the overall project outcomes driven by the team. Aspects of the project that may have been captured in physical notebooks are now collected in OneNote notebooks with tracking of students' assigned tasks. All CAD and data files are storedon the site, which becomes an archive for departmental evaluation and a resource for future teams if the project continues. The project site provides a good overview of the team's project efforts and allows the instructors and faculty mentors to see the status of a project almost continuously.  \nIntroduction  \nThe author has been teaching the two-semester senior capstone design course since the Fall of 2018, and the management structure presented in this paper has evolved over 11 design cycles. The first goal was to capture all project information electronically and in a single location. Previously, the primary student artifacts for the course were comprehensive final reports submitted as paper copies with no capture ofthe in-process efforts. Any electronic artifacts were stored on student-owned sites on various platforms. This resulted in losing project information and limited ability to continue projects with new teams.  \nThe only source documentation tool available on campus in 2018 was Microsoft SharePoint, which was adopted as the first-generation electronic system. While the use of SharePoint accomplished the goal of capturing all of the information electronically, the students found it cumbersome and tended to upload only the required project information. We still needed to capture electronic discussions about the design in group chats. The student teams used various tools for electronic discussions that captured the information about the design decisions not present on the Sharepoint site.  \nIn Fall of 2020, Microsoft Teams became available as a tool on campus. We moved to this platform due to the ease of use and availability on several platforms. The students found the MS Teams tool much ","cbCaiq4q0Kh7Owv7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq4q0Kh7Owv7","pdf",243095,6,"English","# Introduction\n## Course Timeline and Structure","[{\"question\":\"How does Microsoft Teams support managing the capstone program?\",\"answer\":\"The Teams project site acts as a central repository for information about each student's project work.
