Instrumentation (anElectrical Engineering course) and Software Maintenance and Reengineering from ComputerSciences and Software Engineering department collaborated on five Internet of Things (IoT)projects. The collaboration has revealed both challenges and positive outcomes. This paperdescribes the collaboration, the students’ feedback and lessons learned. 1. IntroductionEngineering projects have become complex in the 20th century and require multiple teams fromdifferent disciplines to work collaboratively to solve problems. Collaboration betweenmultidisciplinary teams has become a standard in industries; however, educational curricula havebeen slow to adapt. Although most engineering programs have a capstone design course as a partof their curricula

In thismultidisciplinary project, the students designed and built an easy-to-use yet versatilesurface robot that can autonomously cruise on the surface of water and take underwaterdata in real time. In less than two years, the robot has evolved from a proof-of-conceptprototype to a functioning robot that can autonomously pilot itself and test water qualityas deep as 30m. Extensive field tests have been performed at various locations withdifferent water qualities and weather conditions. Currently, the multidisciplinary group isgearing up to develop a third generation amphibious robot that can launch itself andreturn to the land.

Capstone Design ProjectI. IntroductionThe Hofstra University mechanical engineering program requires students to take twocapstone design courses – one in the mechanics area; the other in the thermal/fluids area.This paper discusses a Spring 2007 design project in the latter area; in particular, aproject dealing with design of a ventilation system for a room.Over the past four years, our department has experienced an increase in enrollment in themechanical engineering program. We are not completely sure as to the reason for this.Perhaps the increase is due to the students’ perception of an improved job market in theME discipline. It may also be due to the mechanical faculty’s emphasis on teaching andinteraction with students rather than research

lecture halls are still sending the message, ‘follow along.’ “This new media environment demonstrates to us that the idea of learning as acquiring information is no longer a message we can afford to send to our students, and that we need to start redesigning our learning environments to address, leverage, and harness the new media environment now permeating our classrooms. 4Educators are beginning to understand how media technology is changing the world, but alsohow it is changing the way students learn.
