A common concern of nationaladvisory boards is that students must function better in team projects and improvecommunication skills. This is reflected in ABET requirements for multidisciplinary seniordesign activities. In many situations, these objectives are met by defining “multidisciplinary” asusing different skill sets

our LWD philosophy was the reaction of many of the students to their LWD 730 (Accommodations and Adaptations for Persons with Disabilities in School, Work, and the Community) course. This course emphasizes the realities of living and working with disability from a personal perspective. One of the course requirements is for students to interact with individuals who have severe disabilities and with the agencies that serve them. This experience helped students to appreciate the skills and barriers that are a part of the everyday lives of individuals with disabilities. Several of the students commented on the difficulty they had at first in reflecting on their experiences. They were used to

After these presentations, students are given a short skill-set survey, whichoften reflects the projects being presented, asking questions about their skill sets. The studentsturn in this skill survey and a project list where they rank the top five projects they would like towork on for the year. The department chairs and capstone coordinators then review the surveysand student project interests to staff the project teams.

Theyhad grand visions of what they were going to create. However, when it came to actually doingthe work, several of them put in the minimum expected time or less. Being a three-hour classwith forty meeting periods, it was expected the student would put in at least 120 hours over thecourse of a semester. Realistically, with an eager group, 160-200 hours is common. In the firstsemester, the time invested ranged from 90 hours to 162 hours.
