assignment was added to the co-op sequence, it was noticed that students wereproposing some projects that had a lot of merit but that they were too complex for one student tocomplete within a single co-op semester. To support the overall curriculum within the GVSUengineering programs, the employers were encouraged to submit these proposals forconsideration as a project for the industry sponsored capstone projects that all GVSUengineering students are required to complete. These multi-disciplinary projects are completedby teams of four to six students over the course of two semesters. Having a well-defined projectproposal and a student that is familiar with the company, which the employer can request be amember of the team, leads to very successful

considered. Potential topics for future investigation are also identified.2. BackgroundThis section provides background on prior work in three relevant areas. First, REU sites aredescribed. Next, prior work on experiential education, project-based learning and theirassessment is reviewed. Finally, prior research on cohort-creation and team bonding for college-age students is presented.2.1. REU sitesThe National Science Foundation REU program brings together cohorts of undergraduatestudents to study topics within NSF supported disciplines. Many REU sites have an overarchingtheme to them that relates to a sub-discipline or interdisciplinary collaboration.REU sites inherently vary from institution to institution, as each institution proposes

our students. Each year, engineeringstudents complete approximately 30 senior capstone projects for a variety of businesses. In anygiven semester, over 150 engineering students are out in the work-place on one of their three co-op rotations. Internships in other disciplines drives the number of students to over 300. Withoutour industry partners, we would be unable to provide authentic projects for students or ensurethat they graduate with real-world employment experience.One of the major challenges in getting a mandatory co-op program up and running was buildingour employer network and helping them to understand the benefits of the co-op model. SincePCEC’s co-op model is rare among universities, many companies had no experience workingwith
