that the shipping solution becapable of keeping SNF below this temperature threshold.For such an extensive project, the best fit within MUSE’s curriculum is Senior Design. MUSErequires every senior engineering student to complete a two-semester capstone design course.Senior Design projects allow teams of 3 to 4 students to apply their engineering knowledge in areal-world setting prior to graduation. The student teams collaborate to design, build, and test anengineered product under faculty supervision. Faculty serve as technical advisors to the studentteams and are available to help offer specific technical advice to students while promotinglearner autonomy. In addition to the engineering concepts being considered, students must alsotake into

currently working with Dr. Stolk on an NSF-supported project to understand students’ motivational attitudes in a variety of educational environments with the goal of improving learning opportunities for students and equipping faculty with the knowledge and skills necessary to create such opportunities. One of the founding faculty at Olin College, Dr. Zastavker has been engaged in development and implementation of project-based experiences in fields ranging from sci- ence to engineering and design to social sciences (e.g., Critical Reflective Writing; Teaching and Learning in Undergraduate Science and Engineering, etc.) All of these activities share a common goal of creating curricular and pedagogical structures as well

thesis project. In addition, senior-level engineering students were required to complete ateam-oriented, design focused capstone project as well as an individual based, research focusedproject in order to graduate. Both of which were evaluated by the departmental staff. The scope,rigor, and quality of such projects appeared to be similar to those found in the U.S., which wasencouraging. However, the lack of staff with academic credentials made this problematic as thenumber of available project supervisors was so limited to adequately mentor approximately 20master level and 30 undergraduate students within the department. As a consequence, the authorspent considerable time during the year assisting students in formulating appropriate
