required aconsiderable amount of faculty time. Fortunately, faculty time supported not only the academicgoals of the course, but also faculty research through development of the product.Sustainability of this type of learning experience, given its scale and associated funding, is animportant concern. There is no guarantee that such large-scale research projects will be availableon a regular basis for undergraduate capstone experiences. Fortunately, this concern wasaddressed by coupling the project with the experimental research program being conducted withinthe Space Systems Laboratory at MIT. This allowed the project to tie strongly to the researchside of the Department thereby providing motivating, cutting-edge projects; augmented funding;as

from the pilot IM course conversion volunteered to serve as peer mentors. These peermentors acted as team leaders for three learning teams during their weekly consultation meetingsto help reduce the teaching load of the TAs. These students volunteered because they had had apositive experience in the pilot course and they recognized an opportunity to learn teammanagement skills which they hoped would be helpful later in their careers as engineers. Weexpect that more students from the scaled IM course conversion will similarly wish to return aspeer mentors. If sufficient numbers of students volunteer as peer mentors, we could potentiallyeven lower the financial cost of the IM course conversion by reducing the number of TAsrequired to run the

DCST offers a traditional Software Engineering course and it served as aprerequisite to the Factory course. The factory course, like many software engineering andcapstone courses, has students work in teams to solve problems using tools and techniquesadvocated by two software process used in industry, RUP and XP. The factory course was fairlyunique in that all projects had to be developed and deployed for real customers. We reportedvaluable lessons learned through four iterations of this course[1][2].

Entitled “I2D2: Imagination, Innovation, Discovery, and Design,” theprogram’s success in the first year has inspired program continuation during the 2011 schoolyear and beyond. The program focuses on creativity and innovation, and using experimentationto test ideas. While this could be classified as an outreach event, the program was developedwith an intended dual benefit of both college and intermediate school students. The collegestudents

The successof the previous IPPD projects funded by LMCO has been the key persuading argument that theLMCO Engineering Director used to convince the project leaders to subcontract a small portionof their project to the IPPD program.

However it reduces the abilityof individual ARCE faculty members to effect long-term changes to the course. Thecourse serves roughly 220 students per year, however the distribution by department hasnot been uniform. In some quarters, there have been as many as three CM students forone ARCE student.
