student studying Public Policy at Oregon State University. She also holds an M.S. in Environmental Engineering and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Oregon State Univer- sity. Her research in engineering education is focused on student teams engaged in the Virtual Bioreactor (VBioR) Laboratory project. She is specifically interested in understanding the student-instructor interac- tions and feedback that occur during this project and how these factors influence student learning.Dr. Debra M. Gilbuena, Oregon State University Debra Gilbuena is a postdoctoral scholar in the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engi- neering at Oregon State University.

information sources do students rely on most when developing user requirements and engineering specifications?  Why do students choose particular information or information sources during front-end design?ParticipantsThe study tracked six design teams as they developed user requirements and engineeringspecifications for their senior capstone design projects. Each design team had four students. Fourteams consisted exclusively of mechanical engineering students and two teams each had onebiomedical engineering student in addition to the mechanical engineering students. All studentswere enrolled in the same capstone design course. The design teams focused on the design ofglobal health technologies for low-income settings (i.e., diagnostic

thefield is acknowledging its role in preparing students to tackle complex problems and developinnovations that will advance quality of life, economic growth, and national security. Efforts toenhance students’ interdisciplinary knowledge and skills include the development ofinterdisciplinary design courses through the NSF-funded SUCCEED Coalition and ABET’s lateraccreditation mandate for undergraduate programs to prepare new engineers to work onmultidisciplinary teams7. Borrego, Froyd and Hall observed that the high level of awarenessamong engineering department chairs of interdisciplinary capstone design projects was “anobvious response to ABET EC2000 criteria”8 (p. 197).Richter and Paretti9 provided further evidence of the burgeoning interest in

cofounder and director of Lehigh University’s Masters of Engineering in Technical Entrepreneurship (www.lehigh.edu/innovate/). He joined the Lehigh faculty in 1979 as an assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering, was promoted to associate professor in 1983, and to full professor in 1990. He founded and directed of the Computer-Aided Design Labs in the Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics Department from 1980 to 2001. From 1996 to the present, he has directed the University’s Integrated Product Development (IPD) capstone program (www.lehigh.edu/ipd). The IPD and TE program bring together students from all three undergraduate colleges to work in multidisciplinary teams on industry-sponsored product development projects

orientation of (a) technical specialization mustbe shown to be integrated into the curriculum through business and industry guidance”(p.  1)41. A widely adopted approach to reach this accreditation target has been theinclusion of industry advisory boards (IABs) in the academic work of engineeringeducation departments. IABs are “voluntary boards composed primarily of industrypractitioners who give aid and advice” (p.169)42. IABs can be involved in coursedevelopment, evaluation (including the evaluation of capstone design courses),accreditation, and fundraising. A survey of IAB participants suggests that IAB membersgenerally expect to give broad feedback about course planning and curriculum43 althoughthis varies by institution. Smaller institutions
