The interface will besignificantly improved when a design method called user-centered design is used in thedevelopment of the software product. The user-centered design methodology includes theevaluation of the interface by typical users during multiple milestones of the lifecycle.4 Apowerful resource in this endeavor of interface development is the usability evaluation laboratory.A

recent years [2-3]. Faculty members are beginning to buy into the idea that retention ratesand graduation rates must be improved in order to bring public accountability to the table incurriculum planning. Developing courses that are motivating and exciting will certainly helpthis cause. This is in contrast to the prior faculty beliefs that (1) it is not their responsibility tomotivate and excite students, (2) students should be motivated by what the future will bringwhen they earn their degrees, and (3) should be excited by the course materials under theassumption that they chose their major based on interest.Anderson-Rowland [4] reported that a students’s reaction to first-year engineering courses is akey to retention, and Tinto [5] reported

First, the task requires some computation, but the level ofcomputation is accessible to any engineering freshman (nothing beyond trigonometry).

workers, rapid development of information and communication technologies, growing callsfor social responsibility6, and rising complexity of engineered products2 all warrant engineeringstudents’ development of skills with which to situate their technical work. Furthermore, theincreasingly diverse engineering workforce and marketplace require “cultural competence”; thatis, a willingness and ability to consider culture in engineering problem-solving7. Therefore, ourdefinition of engineering design expertise should include an ability to design in context.It is generally assumed that in any given field, people begin as novices and as they practice overtime, develop into experts8,9. An expert is an individual who consistently performs with a highlevel

Unfortunately, logistics prohibit some of the marketing andmanufacturing steps.Solving an open-ended problem, Objective 2, requires the student to use their mathematic,science, and engineering fundamentals to propose, analyze, and evaluate alternate solutions.Often, the student teams will model several possible design options, generate performance data,and select the solution based on meeting required specifications.This capstone design sequence involves more then a theoretical design.

Particularly technological studentsare to be competitive in the years to come where faculty needs to be able to provide theirstudents with the cognitive strategies that will enable them to think critically, make decisions,and solve problems. According to Leutner1, in traditional education, the teacher is responsible forthe students' learning. Teachers typically lecture to students who take notes and then memorizeand recall the material to perform well on examinations. This type of learning environment is notappropriate for engineering students who bring life skills and increased reasoning ability to theclassroom. In such a situation, it may be appropriate for students to take

The course covers the gamut of preparation,from culture-specific knowledge for the places they will visit, to basic issues of travel abroad, toa focus on the Engineering Cultures framework that emerged from the STS Department atVirginia Tech. Further, the course has begun partnering with North Carolina A&T, anhistorically black college. The students from UNCA&T join during the semester via distance-learning technology and also come on the trip itself, giving all students the healthy sense thatcultural difference does not just exist across national boundaries. The trip, like the semester-longcourse, exposes
