changethe market dynamics of CAD design through revitalization of the design curriculum. Thoughuniversities currently exhibit full design cycles across a variety of courses spread out in differentsemesters, it could be of major benefit for universities to integrate student extracurricular designteams as a part of the engineering curriculum. The ingrained collaboration required in designteams, as well as the cross-disciplinary interaction of students, academic mentors/advisors andindustry sponsors, is the most realistic analogue to the full end-to-end design cycle currentlypresent in an academic setting. In addition, since the competitive aspect of design competitionsto create superior designs push students to explore new/creative design avenues

As a new engineering school that is not weighted down by 100+ years of traditionalcurricular design, Rowan is in an ideal position to create an innovative, comprehensive, andintegrated approach to engineering communication. The small size of the Rowan student body(15-35 students in each entering class and 66-140 students total) undoubtedly makes integrationeasier, but this paper demonstrates strategies for engineering-communication collaboration thatcan be applied in any context. It is also worth noting that, unlike several of the innovativeprograms that have emerged over the years, the program at Rowan is still going strong.2010 Papers: Greater Awareness of Published Research and Building on the Intellectual

Recognizing the negative impact exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy couldhave on teachers as well as their students, Maslach and Leiter [14],[15] have researched itextensively for more than 20 years. Unlike college professors who are motivated and energizedby students [16], Maslach and Leiter [15] described individuals suffering from exhaustion asbeing characterized as depleted, fatigued, and lacking energy. Not surprisingly, studies havereported negative correlations between emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction [11], [17], [18].While the impact that burnout and low levels of job satisfaction have on faculty includes avariety of subpar performance

However, more teachers are finding that most students’ interest and ability in academics improve dramatically when they are helped to make the connection. ... Students’ involvement in schoolwork increases significantly when they are taught why they are learning concepts and how these concepts are used outside the classroom. And most students learn much better when allowed to work cooperatively with other students.

The goal of TBL strategies is to help students understand the advantages of interdisciplinarycollaboration skills [15]. TBL strategies are suitable for interdisciplinary education to cultivate a culture ofcollaboration among students [16]. In TBL, cooperative learning groups of students working in teams isone of the most common forms of collaboration that interdisciplinary course design adopts.
