.Multidisciplinary teams are also essential components of knowledge management practices inorganizations. The combination of MD teams and optimizing emerging technologies enablesorganizations to manage the human side of learning and complex decision-making2. Because the needs ofindustry often influence the professional preparation of new entrants into the workforce, it is critical toattend to those educational issues involved with multidisciplinary teams. The current study providesinsight into the under explored area of multidisciplinary teaming instruction and assessment within asenior capstone design course. Numerous curricular changes in engineering disciplines nationwide have focused instruction oncommunication and teamwork skills3. While some

Thus begins an abstract for a 1994 conference paper. The need forinformation literacy has not decreased since that time. While students arrive on campus verycomfortable with the World Wide Web, they are not trained in efficient use of electronic ortraditional resources, nor are they necessarily able to evaluate resources for
