organized into groups of 2-3 with a direct faculty mentor andan external client who is recognized as a subject matter expert doing current workin that field. In the fall of senior year, the course starts deliberately slow andexhaustive in identifying, analyzing, and communicating design options to peers,faculty mentors, and external clients. Throughout the course, a thread that ties thetwo semesters together is the writing and presenting for an engineeringconference which usually occurs within a month of graduation. All studentsfinish the experience with a publication in the conference proceedings. Ratherthan assess all ABET SOs a-k, the course has a central focuses on assessing theability to design a system, component, or process (SO c) and

and Online Teaching (MERLOT) is perhapsthe most centralized source of obtaining web-based learning and teaching resources for variousscience and engineering disciplines4. These resources include tutorials, simulations, lecturenotes, demonstrations, and/or online classes/labs. MERLOT also includes a peer-review ratingsystem to evaluate web-based resources based on content, quality, technical presentation, andease of use.
