This project wasdisplayed in the recent UG Symposium and reviewed by the Provost who was very pleased withthe results.We can effectively meet the needs of student and industry by providing the engineeringtechnology student with a comprehensive design experience that closely matches thatencountered by professional design engineers. We can seek to develop the communication andteaming skills that are an inherent and vital part of design activity and address the need topromote the creative capabilities of the entering student 3.Bibliography 1.
