at another university, hasseen deficiencies in the performance of students in the area of graphics utilization later intheir academic careers. For example, the third year students have exhibited difficulties inconceptualizing and utilizing graphical solutions to vector problems in kinematics, andsenior students have struggled with producing quality documentation of their capstonedesign projects. These observed deficiencies may be due in part to the compression ofengineering curricula in years past which has relegated engineering graphics solely to atwo credit first year Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) course, with verylittle follow-up, or use, until the fourth year design projects, during which time thestudents seems to have lost

It would be difficult, if not impossible, to find a class that brings all of those things together.” –Student ParticipantProjects within each academic discipline are generally inwardly focused, and students are notchallenged to work collaboratively with others. Each student team member always worked ontheir assignments individually and up to this time in their academic career had not worked on ateam project. “Everyone on the committee brings their own ideas to the table, and we have all worked together to implement them. We have also been dividing tasks, and we are responsible for individual parts of the project. This is

you a definite advantage. Throughout their careers, engineers spend 20 to 25 percent of their time writing, so learn to do it well. Also, there is a direct correlation between the size of vocabulary and promotion—so it is not too soon to start working on that angle as well.Course Logistics: The following items are recommended to streamline the preparation andteaching of this course: ̇ Teams should be formed several weeks ahead of the start of class, to have time to make adjustments and switches. Students who want to switch need to submit their request in writing and give good reasons. They will not be allowed to join a team in a project area where they have previous experience if this was with a company
