decision about their future careers.The registered professional engineer (P.E.) assumes a working and legal responsibility for thetechnical correctness of a device or design as represented by the engineering graphic language.It is vital that universities prepare their students for the great variation of problems that they willencounter. The design effort is frequently hampered by the inability of an engineer to read theplans of his design or to read the interfacing plans of other engineering disciplines. This graphicilliteracy creates a schism in engineering not only between applied and research engineers, butalso between engineers of different disciplines. A general knowledge and appreciation of thefocus of each specialty is vital efficient

Although this may sound relatively simple in fact it is a complicated challenge foradministrators and faculty at universities throughout the United States. Architectural programsare somewhat unique. In addition to the traditional means of assessment (i.e. testing) thesubjective nature of the design studio projects provide challenges and opportunities for bothstudents and faculty.

In the mid-80’s theDepartment of Industrial Engineering (IE) joined the course so that project teams werecomposed of both ME and IE students, but the relative sizes of the Departments (annualgraduations rates of about 60 BSME and 10 to15 BSIE) and the nature of the projects(mostly ME in nature with only a few in IE) prevented an interdisciplinary experience forall design teams.

The teacher also collaborates with the mentor to developan Action Plan for integrating new perspectives, knowledge, and insights gained from thefellowship experience into the classroom to stimulate student interest in science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM). These Action Plans can also include partnershipactivities such as mentor visits to the teacher’s classroom, field trips to the research lab, and highschool student research internships in university laboratories.GIFT

The students hadhad prior instruction in project management network analysis and scheduling, but were notintroduced formally to the management and planning issues involved. With a course in ProjectManagement already completed as part of the Army training, and having been exposed to projectmanagement on the job, a traditional project management teaching approach was believedinappropriate.

In the design step, for each selected outcome, a groupof faculty consisting of all those teaching courses strongly related with respect to given outcomeis charged with the responsibility of developing an assessment plan. This activity involves theselection or development of assessment instruments and rubrics. During implementation theassessment plan developed during design is carried out and the results are analyzed.

Withan increased number of students in each class, students can also feel the pressure of increasedcompetition. These stresses’ on both faculty and students, negatively affect the positive outcomesdesired by both groups.

This research is being translated from a methodologydomain to an implementation domain to serve two functions: (1) linking the undergraduatecourses that comprise the OU-IE curriculum, and (2) providing pluggable modules for otherundergraduate programs with a structure unlike the OU-IE curriculum. The software modulesbeing implemented will allow a student to study the role of individual activities and the effect ofindividual decisions with respect to a global system's performance. Course
