even moredifficult to evaluate. Over the past year, we have introduced a new course at the junior-level, “Introduction to Engineering Design.” The course focuses on the skills necessaryto complete a project in a multi-disciplinary team, and it will eventually be required forall engineering students as a precursor to their department-specific capstone designcourses. In a previous paper, we described our approach of using the engineering designprocess to determine the best solution to the problem of providing students with a multi-disciplinary educational experience in engineering at Montana State University.1In order to determine if our new course improves student performance in this area, wedeveloped a rubric for evaluating an individual’s

To add cohesion within courses, eachcourse in the unified sequence has its own focus, such as locomotion, sensing, manipulation, andnavigation. Students in the Robotics program also take other required and elective courses,selected from courses already offered by the various engineering departments. In addition, theprogram includes an entrepreneurship component to prepare future “entrepreneurial engineers.”6Like all majors at WPI, the program culminates in a capstone design experience wherein studentssynthesize their accumulated knowledge in a major project.

How can it be assessed?Although concise definitions of the term ―service learning‖ vary in presentation, there are somedefinitive attributes associated with the term.

Survey results showed that neither ME nor ECE students had a prior exposure to theother discipline. After completing the course, ME students perceived that they knew more aboutchild development, play, and the design of children’s toys, and ECE students reported they betterunderstood the types of engineering disciplines.

The philosophy governing the program is tointroduce the students to key engineering concepts and applications in the first semester of theirfreshmen year; these concepts are then integrated throughout the courses in the core curriculumand extend into the respective concentrations leading up to the capstone design project. Thesubsequent courses build upon these concepts allowing the students to make insightfulconnections at each phase and follow the development of these concepts to a professional level.The program is established with the following mission statement and educational objectives [3

benefits of PR are broadly applicablewhenever students are producing non-routine work such as capstone projects, project-basedcourses, or constructivist activities.Cementing and Extending – PR provides twice the learning opportunities compared to InstructorReview (IR) because both the reviewer and the recipient are learning. The reviewer is arguablythe greatest beneficiary; they first cement factual knowledge and then extend their conceptualunderstanding as they consider the work of their classmates. To review a token, the reviewermust first understand what they have seen/heard, next compare it to their own knowledge, thenevaluate whether it is correct, and finally explain/justify their opinion. Reviewers’ cognitivedemands are consistent with
