and ideal outcomes are not routinely communicated to the wholeteam.This work-in-progress paper examines an industry multi-disciplinary engineering design team.Specifically, this study investigates the communication channels between industrial designinterns and an engineering team at an aerospace company in California. Members of this teamwere interviewed to record their experiences during this three-month project. At this initialresearch stage, methods of communication used, how effectively they communicated with eachother, and what was learned about different design methodologies was captured.The purpose of this study was twofold as we sought to satisfy questions from the industrial andthe academic perspectives. From the industrial viewpoint
student learning.The undergraduate engineering curriculum at our institution is limited to built-in project-basedcornerstone, sophomore, and senior capstone design courses. The master of engineering in thepast few years has become mostly a two-year, course-only program. Clearly, there was a need fora broader strategy aimed at improving our student research capabilities by incorporating anembedded IBL component into the curriculum.BackgroundOur focus on multiphysics research began in 2006 when the University received a grant toinvestigate advanced laser processing as applied to the aerospace manufacturing industry. Thegrant was sponsored by the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) under theNational Aerospace Leadership Initiative
of the Aerospace Systems and Technology Track, with particularemphasis on the Microsystems Engineering and Technology for the Future Exploration of OuterSpace Regions (METEOR) family of projects will be used as a case example to illustrate theprocess.IntroductionProject-based “capstone” design has become an integral component of the undergraduateengineering experience. As noted by Dym, et al.1, this has been the standard academic responseto address the need to produce engineering graduates able to practice in industry. TheMultidisciplinary Senior Design (MSD) program at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)arose from departmental capstone design experiences within Mechanical, Industrial, andElectrical Engineering2.

It is used in a wide variety of industries,including automotive and consumer products manufacturing, aerospace, semiconductordevice manufacturing, bulk chemical manufacturing, and refining. Industrially, a processcontrol project draws on economics and software engineering in addition to the variousengineering disciplines that may be involved. Generally, industrial controls projects(large or small) require multidisciplinary teams to be successful. Control engineers comefrom a variety of fields including mechanical, aerospace, electrical
