positive interdependence is essential to collaboration. They definepositive interdependence as an individual’s recognition that their own goals can only be achievedif people they are cooperating with also achieve their goals in the collaborative endeavor. Thus, to help engineering students learn to collaborate effectively, educators must helpthem to (1) realize that their personal method of learning is not the only means to insight; (2)learn to respect alternative learning methods used by others; and (3) integrate new methods oflearning into the collaboration12. Advocates of collaborative learning recommend that instructorscreate scaffolds that offer students cognitive prompts for processes and models that supportinteractions between the

Triple axes accelerometers areattached to the trusses of the bridge such that the vibrations due to the bridge movements can betransmitted wirelessly using 2.4 GHz signals. The system then collects and analyzes the signalswith a receiver attached to a computer. Data logging of the bridge vibrations is implementedusing a multi-sensor data link to routinely collect the normal waveform patterns when an impulseimpact is applied to the bridge. Using the Fast Fourier transform MATLAB program, analysis ofthe waveforms yields a definite shift in the characteristic signature, when one or more of thebridge truss joints are intentionally compromised.

CurriculumA critical statement in the IS 2002 emphasizes that an IS curriculum requires an embeddedproblem solving and critical thinking framework in all courses2. Even though many institutionsagree that critical thinking and problem solving are important, their integration in the curriculumhas been limited1,3. Indeed, the problem-solving component is mainly addressed in programmingcourses. Consequently, students associate problem solving concepts with programming and donot think of problem solving outside this context.The proposed model curriculum emphasizes problem solving in all IS courses. Furthermore,critical thinking skills are emphasized in general education courses, which is an ABETrequirement5. In the implementation of the model curriculum

development of this curriculum has been iterative andwill likely continue to be so. There is an immediate plan to include an alternate path within thefreshman year including marketing and graphic design. The concept here is to enable thestudents less interest in hands-on manufacturing to develop an alternate skill set thatcomplements the manufacturing skill set. For the second half of the course the freshmanstudents from both training options would be integrated into project groups for better-roundedteams. Introduction of the innovative design process at the freshman level has been proposed,developing an innovative mindset earlier while allowing the students to repeat the process andimprove their understanding at the sophomore level.The long term
