havethe opportunity to earn academic credit for their engineering design work. A key difference in thisframework as compared to other typical capstone designs, independent studies, or research creditcourses is that undergraduate TAs and project managers within the project teams are responsiblefor developing many of the assignments distributed to those students enrolled the course as theproject progresses. The methods of student assessment within this framework include: individualor small-group weekly assignments, design notebook checks, peer and self-evaluations,participation, summative technical reports, and the Humanitarian Library. Additionally, unlikemany traditional problem set or laboratory courses, student skills are developed through

common to all students and the following two years are specific to disciplines. Through the course of their education, students take part in several interdisciplinary design projects, including three major design projects offered in first and second years and capstone projects in fourth year. In the capstone course, students work on industry motivated real-life projects. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of these project-based learning activities, and to better understand how students evolve through the completion of these projects, a survey was conducted among first year, sophomore and senior students. The survey asked students for their views on the structure of these design courses

Design courses also vary by the source ofthe projects. In some institutions, instructors design the courses while in other institutions;students propose their design projects. A recent trend has been the use of industry-led andservice-based projects for capstone design courses. Projects often vary by team size and mayconsist of teams of one to as many as five members.A review of the literature reveals that there has been considerable investigation into thetechniques used to teach

4. Reasons cited for not participating in SAE student activities.When asked to provide ideas on how to increase student participation in Kettering SAEactivities, these alumni offered the following advice: 1. Offer course capstone credit for participation in the competition projects. For many students receiving credit for the time spent to develop the project vehicles could be justified, if they received course credit for their effort. It would in effect allow them to ‘double-dip’ on their time commitments. Said one student, “Is it possible to get some minimal credits for fulfilling tasks as part of the team?? Linking activities to some sort of educational credit would allow a higher priority.” 2. Integrate SAE

common for engineering courses to contain team-based projects ranging fromfirst-year Introduction to Engineering courses to Senior Design/Capstone courses. However,students’ experiences in teams vary greatly and when un-facilitated within large courses,students may have negative experiences which impact their future learning. To overcome thisissue, a new course: Applications in Project Management in Biomedical Engineering wasdeveloped at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. This course is student-led where upper-class students serve as project managers (PMs) to first-year student teams in Introduction toBiomedical Engineering who are conducting semester long design projects. The upper-classstudents learn about a promising career in
