InternationalUniversity consists of three courses for a total of 7 credit-hours over two semesters. Significanteffort by the entire faculty is required for a successful outcome and to ensure that all studentsreceive a “major design experience” and that there is consistency in expectations and outcomesamong the students and croups. One of the creative components of the program at FIU is thatnear the end of the first semester of the senior design course sequence a committee of facultymembers reviews each group’s project design written proposal and critiques a 20 minute oralpresentation of their proposal during about 40 minutes of questioning. The team’s companysponsor and faculty advisor also attends and participates in the oral proposal defense. The facultypanel

For examplein the specifications and architectural design tasks, all the students worked together to definehow signals would flow between modules; students gathered together again during the testingtasks. The following rules were established to facilitate and reward the collaboration andlearning:a) Personal accountability vs. team performance: Each student was responsible as individual for his product assignment (for example microcontroller HW&SW) while the team was responsible for the product.b) Co-tutoring: During the evaluation of the project any student could be required to explain, in detail, any design/implementation aspect. Students trained each other about their own specific aspect.c) Any type of intra-team
