Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2003, American Society for Engineering EducationBased on the analysis presented in this paper, the two greatest strengths are (1) IEW’s ability toadapt their goals to the interests and needs of new members each academic year and (2) thecollaboration between members of IEW and each year’s Capstone Design class. By allowing thisadaptability, IEW members are more committed to team goals established each year because thesealign more fully with what each member finds meaningful. Collaboration between graduatestudent mentors and Capstone Design students is critical for undertaking industry projects thatinvolve state of the art technology and

Copyright ©2003, American Society for Engineering Education We believe that PBL can be effectively implemented in engineering curricula. TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) considers the following to beamong the 11 required outcomes attained by engineering graduates [2]: ability to engage in life-long learning; ability to work in multidisciplinary teams; ability to identify, formulate and solveengineering problems; and ability to consider the ethical and social dimensions of engineeringsolutions. These outcomes are those that prove most difficult for engineering faculty to achieve inthe standard curriculum. Our approach is to combine improvement in these ABET-related processskills with the learning of critical

Beginning in 2001, allprograms are being evaluated based on the outcomes of the programs and the skills of theirgraduates. Each program’s outcomes must also be linked to the objectives of the program andthe missions of the College and University. In addition to a process for measuring and evaluatingtheir outcomes, Universities must have outcomes assessment (OA) processes in-place to ensurethe continuous improvement of the program. The continuous improvement processes mustinclude input from the constituencies that the

Theusefulness of CAD/CAM tools in the learning process and job market utilization is unquestioned.What remains to be studied is how much and in what depth they should be taught 1. A wide rangeof studies have used CAD instruction in the undergraduate curriculum 2. The relationshipbetween industry and engineering/technology academic programs is constantly evolving andredefining itself 2.

The combination of MD teams and optimizing emerging technologies enablesorganizations to manage the human side of learning and complex decision-making2. Because the needs ofindustry often influence the professional preparation of new entrants into the workforce, it is critical toattend to those educational issues involved with multidisciplinary teams. The current study providesinsight into the under explored area of multidisciplinary teaming instruction and assessment within asenior capstone design course.
