Many chemical engineering programs are striving to meet the challenges posed by various requirements for producing desired outcomes in the senior year capstone design course. At Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), the approach previously used involved multidisciplinary teams, which was believed to be a strength. Under the latest accreditation criteria, however, the focus has changed and the chemical engineering program at PVAMU saw a need to move toward discipline focused capstone projects. This paper examines the difficulties facing such a transformation, methods undertaken to accomplish this change, and the impacts observed.
