becoupled to the departmental capstone courses to promote quick adoptions of multidisciplinarycapstone projects without sacrificing discipline specific rigor. Two student surveys and one end-of-quarter grading rubric are used to assess the merits of the coupled course design through thefirst quarter of a three quarter capstone series. Results of the surveys show that the SMCCcourse structure resolves student meeting scheduling problems by mandating attendance andretains departmental rigor by having advisors directly assigned in the departmental capstonecourse. We found that highly motivated teams with defined projects thrive with this model butthat industry-defined projects require increased communication for all involved faculty andindustry

broader implementation strategy to include engineering discipline tailoring andeducational research as discussed in our summary and conclusions.2.0 Systems Engineering (SE) Design Course ConceptSE Design differs from the traditional engineering educational approach where, if SE is taught atall, it is taught as a separate subject. Our approach integrates SE fundamentals into the course ashands-on engineering principles and uses the structure of the course itself to apply SE to design.The approach is applicable to one and two semester course formats with either "paper" orhardware/software design projects although our experience suggests the most effective methodinvolves hands-on projects that have to demonstrate a working capability.By structure

Perhaps the most compelling argument can be made by Landers7 in his doctoralthesis where a large number and variations of hybrid courses were analyzed. He states (p. 61):“it appears that online instruction is more effective than traditional instruction when seekingknowledge and problem solving gains”. In creating a hybrid Senior Design offering, facultymembers would have more opportunities to make connections with the on-line material and theteam project.Many of the present lecture topics apply directly to the design and construction of an object orstructure and dissemination of knowledge (lists and facts).

Each major has traditionally taught its own capstone design course, whichranged from a one-semester paper project to a two-semester project with a functional prototype.Multidisciplinary projects have been rare and collaboration on projects has usually been limitedto having cadets from other majors working as part of design teams, but usually being enrolled ina separate
