This approach culminated the student’s theoretical knowledge and experimentalexpertise where students were required to get involved in all phases of the project from design,fabrication, instrumentation, testing, data collection, final analysis and interpretation of results.All aspects of the project were documented along the way and finally were submitted in a reportformat and presented to faculty members and students at the end of the semester.Students

In this process the studentsgot a broader perspective on engineering decisions.

In an undergraduate engineering curriculum verticalintegration has previously been used to improve student engagement through concurrent teachingand utilization of the concepts. More specifically, in an engineering design course a combinationof professional, ethical, technical, or communication skills are both taught and used [7, 8]. Vertical integration can give students exposure to design skills prior to a fourth yearcapstone project; yet, it does not inherently provide a context for the experience.
