investigated how amulti-disciplinary team could coordinate tasks using a novel Computer Aided Design (CAD) toolthat enables multiple users to simultaneously access and modify a model [10]. The projectdemonstrated that students from three institutions in three time zones could effectivelycollaborate on the design of an aircraft wing assembly. The 2012 – 2013 project successfullyimplemented a “multi-site, cloud-based capstone design project” within a cross-cultural, peer-to-peer design-build-test environment [11]. Within this environment students were exposed to theindustrial principles of collaborative digital design and manufacturing, targeting complex cyber-mechanical systems. These previous projects were evaluated in order to develop a betterprogram
