individual students and the needs of the project. Improving this balanceis a major focus of the program going forward.6.0 Conclusions and Future WorkThe nature of a multidisciplinary capstone course is significantly different than a capstone courselimited to one discipline. Such a multidisciplinary course can provide meaningfulinterdisciplinary experiences for students and faculty, cross-pollination of design methodsbetween sectors, and can robustly demonstrate compliance with ABET outcome D, “An abilityto function on multidisciplinary teams.”Such a course also imposes significant challenges. This section contains a discussion of twoongoing initiatives to improve the course: the need to match suitable students and faculty to eachproject, and the

ProjectAbstractThis paper introduces a multidisciplinary capstone senior design project, which involves thedesign, build and test stages1. It is a two-semester project that was conducted by six seniorstudents in the Department of Engineering at Indiana University – Purdue University FortWayne. The objective of this project is to design and build an interactive sensor package unit thatcan engage dogs into playing. The whole system design is composed of the shell, mobilitymechanism, power source, control unit, sensor system, stimulator system and software. Thispaper also describes several different assessment approaches used throughout the project. Thefaculty members from the Department of Engineering and the local sponsors conduct theassessment.

the main teaching platform. However, when presented with options,students never use this platform for class projects or capstone projects. Surveys showed that thiswas due to the fact that the laboratory experiments were topic specific and did not present asystem design approach which made it difficult for students who attempted to use thismicrocontroller [1]. A new platform, the C-Stamp microcontroller, was introduced as analternative for their design. This development boards provide a pre-assembled hardware platform,which include common peripheries in addition to programming libraries. These benefitsencouraged some students to implement the C-Stamp microcontroller in their senior designprojects with fairly successful outcomes [1]. The

TheIDS course also prepares the engineering students to take on the Capstone Design course in theirsenior year. The second novel feature of IDS project is that it involved concurrent delivery oftwo junior level courses where the course content of the courses was synchronized. The coursesinvolved in this project were ENGR 3650: Product and Tool Design (Engineering Department),and MARK 3700: Marketing Research (Marketing Department).

ProjectAbstractThe typical U.S. engineering curriculum begins with three years of structured courseworkfollowed by a final year of technical electives and the choice of a relevant capstone designproject. In mechanical engineering this project is designed to integrate the concepts from thesecourses towards the production of a working mechanical system. Unaccustomed to makingconnections between this course material and hands on design, students often have difficultyseeing how this type of book knowledge is relevant towards the solution of an authentic designproblem. This issue can best be expressed through the differences in expectations among thestudents and their faculty advisor, and when compared, highlight some of the discrepanciesbetween the two
