Throughout the paper we’ll use one project from our Venice project center as arepresentative example, specifically one from the summer of 2002 when three studentsconducted a boat wake energy impact study (1). This was one of six projects completed inVenice that summer, and one of several during the past few years that investigated the motoondoso problem.BackgroundFor many years WPI has found ways to graduate socially conscious, globally literate engineers.We do this

Often, the system stretches beyond designers’ capabilityto grasp all of the details simultaneously [1] .One strategy for coping with the many variables is:to bring the system back within the limits of human mental capacity by focusing selectively on alimited number of factors, preferably the most significant ones. Designers are usually good atestimation. They are able to size up parameters, sort them out in terms of their relativeimportance, and neglect the ones that have less impact on the project.

For students at the lower end ofthe grade scale, the benefits of co-op have been shown to have a proportionally greaterinfluence2. This research indicates that after three co-op experiences, many students have learnedskills that translate into improved academic performance.One weakness of some of the established studies is that the indicators of academic performancefocus on cumulative GPA, which is based on all courses combined.
