During the first two years, which are common to all three disciplines,all students study together, in an effort to both teach and show students the integration ofengineering concepts desired by industry and recognized by many as ideal. In addition to takingtraditional engineering courses, students (in both first and second year, and again in the fourthyear capstone design course) work in multi-disciplinary teams on major design projects thatintegrate technical knowledge and metaskills.

the system progresses depending on the different work that must be preformed. Thestages have both a logical and temporal relation. The deeper the stage, the more refine andmature the system becomes. As the flow of the model progresses the products from the previousstages become inputs. Then, when moving to a new stage in the process the nature of thetechnical activities become more shifted. The proper progress from one stage into another iscontrol by gates.A synthesized version can be seen on the NASA ESMD Capstone Design by The Ben Shima 13.The process is the same and is highly used for senior design projects.
