Collaborative Efforts in Engineering and Technology Education R. Sterkenburg, D.L. Stanley & J. Lampe Purdue UniversityAbstract - Over the last two years, Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Aviation Technology (AT)students at Purdue University have been collaborating and competing in several aviation relateddesign-build projects. This paper will describe three such projects: The Personal lifting vehicle(PLV), the lighter than air vehicle (Blimp), and the Hovercraft. Elements of collaboration,competition, and design-build strategies were utilized in an effort to increase student motivation.In the first project students of ME and AT worked together to design and
