potential of the electric vehicle. It could dramaticallysimplify the mechanical layout by connecting the motors directly to the wheels. This designwould reduce the number of drivetrain components, thus improving the overall reliability andefficiency. This option also reduces the drivetrain weight since the mechanical differentials arenot used7. Therefore, the team designed an electric drive control system to test its feasibility andreliability.Design ProcessThe design process mainly followed the P&B method8; including four phases, namely, planningand clarifying the task, conceptual design, embodiment design, and detail design.Planning and Clarifying the TaskThe first phase of the P&B Method involves product planning as well as the

of the process requires significant time and effort by faculty advisors,including a manager of the project curriculum, with appropriate load credit. Plan ahead at least ayear in advance, so as to adequately structure and schedule the experience. Prepare students andfaculty with clear expectations. Configure an LMS to facilitate the process. These steps help notonly in effectively guiding the students through the process, but in making the experience a moreauthentic model of the “real” job search. Page 24.303.14References1.

In groups of 5,they solve the design projects in 11 hours. Page 24.763.3The approach here is less ambitious in curriculum coordination and planning structure than anyof these efforts; rather this paper discusses a multidisciplinary experience targeting a single term,orchestrated in the courses offered during that term. This is simpler in scope, requiring morelimited coordination of four courses rather than an entire sequence of courses.Introduction

As a result, the Museum was to become a dynamic space; a laboratory for learningand a venue for the synthesis of art and engineering.Following two years of intensive planning and effort, the Grohmann Museum opened in Octoberof 2007 as the newest and arguably the finest Museum in Milwaukee, in addition to being to only Page 24.784.3Museum of its type in the world.

The multidisciplinary theme provided a framework for which Page 23.1347.7  specific facets of the pivotal concept would be presented. The theme also helped in the selectionof relevant examples for the video.Finally, the organization of the video content was detailed in the outline. Before the script for thevideo narration was drafted or any visuals were planned, the outline served as a check to ensurethat a cohesive story was being presented. At this point, sections were added, deleted, orrearranged so that the content was properly scaffolded for the

Identifying the challenges that students face in multidisciplinary environment willlead to the discussion on how to tackle these challenges.The results for this study help course coordinators to plan accordingly for student teamformation, project matching and creating an environment of support. Providing workshops andsupport from the faculty to guide students through this journey, peer evaluation on top of clients’evaluation and supervisors’ evaluation, and constructive feedback are examples of further actionsto be taken.Having in place a system for peer evaluation and self-evaluation to give feedback to students andsupervisors will prevent low psychological safety of the team that inhibits innovative behaviors.There are tremendous opportunities for
