piloted with a capstone project involving two teams withmembers from BYU and the National University of Singapore (NUS). The course was taughtsynchronously with BYU students meeting at 7:00 AM and NUS students meeting at 9:00 PM.Several key insights were gained during the first semester of this course.First, students at both universities need to be awarded course credit. This commits the studentsto full participation in the course. It also commits both universities to finding a time where thecourse may be taught. In this particular example, the time zone difference in the second semestercould have been over come with BYU moving to an afternoon time and NUS to an earlymorning (next day) schedule.

Starting in January, we hadour first class meeting. Myself included, there were thirteen students in the class. I was the onlygraduate student but the majority of the class included senior level students from the School ofAgricultural and Biological Engineering (ABE) at Purdue. These seniors were using the projectas a capstone-design project, a graduation requirement. Two students were from the School ofChemical Engineering and another student was from the School of Pharmacy. These
