Abstract	Most undergraduate engineering programs require completion of a capstone design project. For many projects in disciplines such as electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, the chief processing component of these projects is a microcontroller unit (MCU). There are hundreds of MCUs and development tools (DT) available in the market today. Identifying a suitable MCU and DT at the detail necessary for project integration could be a challenging, tedious, and time consuming task for those involved in the capstone process. Selecting an inappropriate MCU and DT could lead to incomplete, less challenging, or poorly implemented projects. This paper strives to alleviate the problem of MCU/DT selection by researching capstone project designs, constraints, and requirements across a range of undergraduate engineering programs. It then outlines important MCU and DT selection criteria for undergraduate capstone projects. Finally, several MCUs and DTs that are both popular and widely available in today's market and suitable for undergraduate engineering capstone projects are recommended.
