importantly, theimprovements were designed to support defined core competencies of the MET program and tobuild and develop these core competencies in our students through curriculum integration.Inherently, MET is an applications oriented curriculum, and thus aligns itself well with project-based teaching and learning models in these core courses. In support of defined courseimprovements, and to support core competency development, the MET program is developing aproject-based model for integrating the senior year MET core courses with the senior yearcapstone design and build courses. This paper will detail the methodology utilized to integratetwo courses, MET460 – Advanced Instrumentation, and MET 449 – Design for Manufacturingand Tooling with

The MS Tech students study one technical track insufficient depth to appreciate its methodologies and fundamental unresolved questions, andacquire a basis for life- long learning. Required courses for the program are established in: 1)Technology core, 2) required technical courses in the track area, 3) elective courses combiningbreadth of subject matter with specific study in depth, and 4) MS directed project focused onapplied research. Hands-on experience of cutting edge technology and the applied researchexperience are essential parts of MS in Technology program.

Students completed the design, obtained approval from the customer (the nonprofit trailgroup), and obtained approval from local and state governments. Because this was a capstonecourse, students were required to demonstrate knowledge and skills they acquired during theirfour-year degree program. As such, they created the blueprints of the new design, estimated costsand materials, scheduled the construction, and fulfilled the role of project manager. Constructionprofessionals mentored the students as they built the trailhead restroom. The magic words

The proof-of-concept prototype canthen be transferred to the private industry partner who will be responsible for the “prototype toprofit” phase. Because the partner is local, interested students can continue to participate in theprocess. Thus, students will be able to participate in all aspects of the “productization” cycle.The first phase of this project is complete and includes the conceptual design and planningactivities.
