Information that applies to an individual problem issummarized and captured in a specific rubric. Both rubrics are essential to the success of theassessments. All problem sets are based on a 1.8 kW residential wind turbine. The residential turbinewas selected because there is considerable data available to provide background information,actual sizes for comparison, and the students can relate to this size project. Alternative problemsmay be developed for ranch windmills and commercial

engineering curriculum went through a major curriculum change in2001 that included adding an interdisciplinary sophomore and junior design course to theexisting freshman and senior design capstone courses. The new courses were added as part of aNSF grant entitled “Integrating Engineering Design with the Humanities, Social Sciences,Sciences and Mathematics.” The interdisciplinary sophomore design course has undergoneseveral iterations since its inception. Initially, the sophomore course paralleled our seniorcapstone design course with each project team of 3 to 6 students working on industrial sponsoredproject with a practicing engineer as the technical mentor. This approach has worked extremelywell for our senor design course because of the effort put
