together to do the design and implementationplanning. The integration of C3’s user-interface work with C4’s back-end code is the primarychallenge. And, of course, since the C4 students have already taken C3, there will be naturalmentoring about user-interface and animation issues.The projects have evolved, but are now based on work that Wilczynski did during hisentrepreneurial career when his company built manufacturing applications in an area called cellcontrol7. In the fall we do an assembly cell. In spring we do a glass-processing line. Schematicsof the cells, which the students will build and animate, are shown in figures 1 and 2 in theappendix. Here are links to the specifications the students start from:http://www-scf.usc.edu/~csci201

Typically, much of the “training” inteamwork is experiential - students may be given some theoretical framework(s) forunderstanding what is going on, but learning seems to happen during actual project work.Assessment of teamwork is non-trivial and tends to rely heavily on peer assessment, such as useof CATME [17]. It is also difficult to provide timely feedback to teams unless an instructor isoverseeing all of the student teams on a daily basis.

Engineering and Computer Science DepartmentAbstractIn the United States, more than 10% of traditional electrical engineering programs havecombined with computer science into a single department 1. Historically computer scienceprograms emerged from mathematics or electrical engineering departments in the mid to late1960's. Since mathematics is not typically in the engineering college many computer scienceprograms developed independently from engineering programs. In the 1970's and early 1980's,with the advent of the microprocessor and embedded computer systems, computer engineeringevolved mostly out of existing electrical engineering programs and has since become a separatediscipline distinct from electrical engineering with
