increased team discussion time, frequentassessments and additional teamwork factors such as conflict occurrence and resolution will alsobe addressed. The impact that improved teamwork skills may have on students will be evaluatedthrough collection of annual retention data, performance in the capstone design course, andspecific questions related to teamwork readiness on our department’s annual exit survey tograduating students. The impact will be compared to historical student data, in which thetraditional lecture-based introductory course was offered, and used to guide continuousdevelopment of our undergraduate curriculum to prepare our students for future success.References1.

The very contact with upper classmen willgain a transfer of knowledge along with a tangible reason for taking many of the courses in thecurriculum.There is one last area that may not have received much discussion but can produce interestingresults. Most colleges and universities have final projects, courses, or capstone design coursesthat culminate the entire body of courses taken by the student. A future project hopes to introducefreshmen to members of the senior design class and allows these freshmen to sit in on some ofthe proceedings of meetings, work sessions, and company visits the connection between whatthey are going to face in their classes and the final real world projects may clarify much

An externalcompany defined the requirements for the image recognition system. The number of subsystemsthat interconnect to support this expanded functionality is challenging. The subsystems thatmake up this solar-powered camera system include a charging circuit, a heating circuit, a triggercircuit, a solar array, and batteries, Along with the challenges presented from designing thesubsystems, there were a number of lessons learned as a result of the project. Of the lessonslearned, the most notable were the challenge of getting parts for a prototype, the level of

Using minimal resources and with minimalprerequisites, students were exposed to the compromises involved in the design of a real product 1 .In another example, Latcha and Oakley 2 describe a Capstone course where students design andconstruct toys or games. This course exposes students to the severe economic constraints oneffective toys and gives them the opportunity to have their designs presented to industry.Both of these project examples involve teaching practices that are recognized throughout thegreater community of educators as high-impact practices 3 .

Much emphasis is placed onsenior capstone courses, as this meets the immediate demand of preparing graduating seniors forthe non-technical aspects of their careers. In contrast, freshman classes receive less attention interms of their position to “set the tone” for the coupling of communication and engineering,likely because the demands placed on freshman engineering classes are already high.

In addition to regular teachingassignments, there are many informal teaching opportunities that arise in which creativity andinnovation can be injected into the curriculum. Most notably, capstone design courses can beeasily utilized for creative thinking to produce quality projects, provided that the instructor andthe project advisor are willing to devote a significant amount of time to advising the student teammembers.Creativity is a process of generating and manifesting a new idea1.
