We intend on increasing theinteraction with video material by making available more videos to build a larger archive ofreference material. In the present semester, we are video-recording laboratory sections in whichwe are teaching the effective use of software packages, such as Mathworks Matlab and AliasMaya. We intend on evaluating the availability of this reference material by comparing studentperformance to prior semesters.References[1] Abowd, G.D., Atkeson, C.G., Feinstein, A., Hmelo, C., Kooper, R., Long, S., Sawhney, N., Tani, M.

After the completion of this MEA, thesestudents resumed working with their long term teams that had been set up in Week 3 of thesemester.The experimental group was chosen from another teaching assistant who has been extensivelytrained to implement and write MEAs. This choice was to reduce bias from the difference inteaching assistants. The experimental group also consists of eight teams – six teams from one Page 12.1296.9section and two from another.

processeswhich occur in capstone design courses and guides analysis of a student’s ability to communicatethe process of engineering design. In this framework the design process is completed in fivesteps: 1) A student’s initial learning occurs through interactions with the faculty and teaching assistants (experts) in a social setting- the design class or lab. This type of learning is collective and public and represented by Quadrant #1. Students first seek to understand the design process and their project through social interactions in the classroom, laboratory, or within a team. 2) Next the team analyzes the design project and breaks it down to component tasks. At this stage students become individually responsible for particular
