the top lessons learned by the Dual-Use Ferry student teams. Atthe end of the design effort, a design solution was provided to the customer. The customer wasvery pleased with the resulting effort and stated that future marketplace design efforts would bewelcomed and supported.AcknowledgmentsWe thank the Department of Defense for financial support of the capstone marketplace projectand for technical and logistical support in providing mentors and sponsors. We thank the mentorsand sponsors of the Dual-Use Ferry project for their generous support and guidance. Finally, wethank the students at Stevens Institute and UAH for their hard work on this challenging project.Bibliography 1. B. McGrath, S. Lowes, A. Squires and C. Jurado, SE Capstone

The intent is to design and produceaccelerated on-line courses that (a) have the same rigor as those taught on campus, (b) can betaught effectively by faculty other than the course designers and (c) achieve the same studentlearning outcomes.Currently, the Management of Engineering Systems course is scheduled to be taught every Falland Spring in our traditional 16-week format and two or three times a year in the accelerated, on-line format. Since the accelerated on-line courses are being designed for reuse and since theeffort required to initially develop and revise such courses is expected to be significant, once acourse has

design andbuild an automated device. It was hypothesized that reformulating the design project as aproblem- or project-based learning activity would facilitate long-term learning amongundergraduate as well as graduate students. It is intended that the design problem serve twopurposes: a) encourage students to apply knowledge from the lab assignments, and b) allowstudents to learn the value of integrated mechanical-electronic-software design as compared tothe more conventional process of sequential design. The first goal, application of prior Page 24.708.2knowledge, makes the activity more similar to a project-based learning approach while

performance, it is found thatstudents who earned an “A” submitted almost all assigned homework during the semester. Onthe other hand, if the students submitted only 63% of their homework, chances of their success inthose courses were little. Another observation states that homework score is also correlated withthe final course grade. For example, when a student earned an “A” on the course, his/herhomework score was above 90 on average. Similar conclusion can be made for those studentswho scored “B,” “C,” “D,” and “F.” Many TAMIU students work very hard in their courses, yeta regular class time may not be sufficient to create and interactive environment to address all theproblems that students may have for the course. This situation is true for the

The first course (Course A)was a simulation elective consisting of 17 × seniors (~20 yrs of age; 1 female, 16 male) enrolledin either engineering or operations research. The second course (Course B) was a projectmanagement course consisting of 16 × seniors (~20 yrs age; 2 female; 14 male) enrolled in oneof our institution’s engineering programs. Two students were enrolled in both courses. The pilotstudy was blocked into 5 sessions–two administered in Course A, and three administered inCourse B. These sessions were scheduled in the middle to latter half of the semester. Thesessions were selected to
