Some of the responseswere: “Web-based classes that are individualized and games that teach subjects rather than lectures” “A joint nationality research operation is working now to develop an early model.

reviewed eight years of experience by a team of faculty and students developingWERCware to provide social services; several lessons have been learned along the way. Theselessons may also be instructive to other engineering faculty who manage or advise undergraduateengineering projects. To recap, four key lessons learned by the team phrased as suggestions hereinclude 1) keeping the big picture in mind to helps project team members focus on what works toserve the client by effectively meeting the need, not just developing fancy technology, 2) whendeveloping a new product, it helps to start by trying to meet a specific need in a smaller localmarket, and gradually work toward the larger market, 3) grant funding or other support for fieldtesting proves

Hispanic respondents. For comparison, only 13% of students indicated thesame level of interest in fulfilling medical school admission requirements, and only 8% ofstudents had the same level of interest in attending law school after completion of anundergraduate engineering degree.Engineering design is a powerful vehicle for math and science learning in K-12 classrooms,standing to improve student learning and achievement in those subjects, and increase studenttechnological literacy, awareness of and interest in pursuing engineering as a career.8 Withengineering, science and math teacher development in mind, engineering design was thereforecarefully woven in and through the fabric of the degree program.Regardless of national need and student

unless other criteria are not met. A primarypurpose of ABET is to ensure engineers are receiving the skills and competencies needed to besuccessful engineers. With this purpose in mind, engaging ABET representatives in discussionsaround multidisciplinary capstones and how they may fit within ABET criteria may be useful –both for the university as well as for the ABET organization.Therefore, industry-university collaboration may be needed to develop an effective andsustainable multidisciplinary capstone. This collaboration could be facilitated by havingprofessionals from academic and industry work together to best understand and articulate what isneeded from the senior capstone course in terms of multidisciplinary content and skills, and thebest

multidisciplinary training.One student commented that cross pollination was the most important student aspect; "many ofthe engineering students, including myself, have been so close minded in our studies that wenever truly learn what makes a project thrive…Functional communication with managers,accountants, marketing, document control groups, construction, procurement, etc. are allnecessary for even the smallest projects to come together.”Students in the translational research program gain more than hands-on experience in theirprofession; they witness poverty, sickness, and an unwavering sense of community that few hadimagined before their involvement in this program. The struggles of a developing nation givethese students a renewed sense of purpose
