Teams in which one orthe other disciplines elected to undertake the project alone did not fare as well. Similarly,the educational value of the experience for the students was significantly enhanced by themultidisciplinary orientation of the team. The project integrated many of the ABETrequirements of Criteria 3 and 4, demonstrating both the value of these criteria and avehicle for achieving them. This student-built home will serve as a lab and communityresource for studying solar energy and sustainable design in residential applications

The objective of this program was to expose a group ofhigh school students to a variety of academic experiences designed to motivate them towardprofessions in the field of transportation. High school students soon to enter their Junior Yearwere eligible to participate on our first Summer Transportation Institute in Puerto Rico. Theactivities were very diverse and included two trips to San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico,each time with an overnight stay. Besides these and other day-long field trips, our instituteprovided class sessions in transportation related topics, as well as participatory working sessionsfor the students to develop their projects. The participants also learned to write technical reportsand prepare

The conclusion of the first semester of design can be unsatisfying Like many other institutions, our senior design is a two-semester sequence where the first semester concludes with a written design proposal and the second semester culminates in a functional deliverable. As such, teams are typically far from a final deliverable at the conclusion of the first semester. For students who are accustomed to finishing a course project at the end of the semester and experiencing a strong sense of completion, the first semester of the capstone leaves many students

This approach has madethe task of delivering vital undergraduate and graduate engineering courses to distributedaudiences much easier.As this approach has permeated more curricula, distance education instructors have increasinglyassigned projects that require distance learners to work together as an element of the final coursegrade.
