benefit of the new program, majorintrinsic benefits were gained in the areas of community-building and creating transparent andinclusive processes, which will hopefully translate to trust and open communication regardingfuture resources, staffing, and course sharing. Although the launch of the program feels like amajor accomplishment after a long arduous journey, of course the work is really just beginning.The program chair and advisory committee are currently developing an assessment plan andmarketing materials and working with existing departments and programs to staff upcomingcourses.References[1] Lafayette College Special Collections and College Archives[2] K.

in their own section(s) anddivide the classes up into student groups of 4-5 students. Our instructional team consistscompletely of teaching professionals (non-tenure track faculty) with a variety of backgroundsand industry experience. In order to make mentoring 10 to 20 teams tractable, all students teamscomplete the same design challenge. Creating a “good” design challenge is crucial, as the coursedoes more than simply teach the design process (see Figure 1). Teaming and leadership skills,project management, ethics, and technical communication are important outcomes for the course.All of these “Soft-skill” areas are made more palatable to our students if our design challenge isengaging and fun.With eleven different engineering disciplines

Faculty Advisor RoleDuring the first term of the course sequence the academic faculty advisors are provided with thefaculty/student guide and introduced to the selected project(s). The faculty advisor familiarizesthemselves with multidisciplinary course sequences and the common primary tasks. The tasksinclude: • Guide the team to follow the design process with a strong focus on “defining the problem” and meeting established benchmarks for process and time, • Foster the implications of engineering decisions based on business and

The faculty discussed several challenges, ranging from differences incurriculum requirements for individual schools, incompatibility between Schools having multi-semester Capstone Design sequence v/s a single semester, adequate scoping of projects, facultyload-sharing, etc. (some of which were similar to the ones already presented by Bannerot et al.6).Given the extremely large enrollments (around 800 students take Capstone Design everysemester

LAES students were able to serve as informed and responsible citizens in aglobal culture and seemed to remain involved with learning and helping society improve.Many of the respondents commented on the students’ ability to work efficiently, noting that thestudents seemed to be well prepared for work. One employer stated that s/he found the LAESstudents to be “very bright individuals and excellent at creating new ways to make our office andproduction and distribution more cost effective. Great insight and skills come from their coursesfrom which they have taken at Cal Poly. I think all of the students that I have hired from CalPoly in other majors have all contributed their own style and knowledge to the company.”Another employer noted that the
(STEM)education, there have been nearly continuous calls for curriculum innovation and improvement.In the past 20 years, however, many of these calls have intensified and focused on theincorporation of interdisciplinary, problem-based, “real-world” learning in one form or another.These range from more general reports like those coming from the Boyer Commission1 in thelate 1990’s, to specific work that led to the restructuring of the ABET accreditation processthrough EC20002. More recently, publications by the National Academy of Engineering such as“The Engineer of 2020”3 and “Educating the Engineer of 2020”4 have reenergized the call forinnovation in STEM curricula.

process of developing new cross-disciplinary mastersprograms, and while several grant proposals have been submitted by Institute faculty, this will bea priority moving into the future. In the short amount of time that the undergraduate programshave been in place, a total of about 60 new students have entered the program or will be enteringthe program at the start of the fall 2012 semester. The work on the Institute of Environment,Sustainability, and Energy continues, and new objectives continue to be developed andimplemented.References 1.
