In the paper wepresent an interdisciplinary senior design project with collaboration of electrical and mechanicalengineering students which attempted to transmit real-time video from a high altitude balloonfrom 100,000 feet altitude. Through this experience, students have learned principles ofintegrated engineering technology, and sharpened their skills in cooperative learning, effectivelearning and team work.

In theconcept development phase, students use prototyping and visualization technologies to build aconcept model and use case models. These models will serve as the fundamental basis of projectdevelopment. After the team and NASA technical expert review the requirements, students workon the preliminary design phase of the project. For the preliminary design, students choose thedesign platforms and finish the design of data schema. They also need to complete workflowmodel and interoperability analysis.
