There is a historyof academic collaboration between the two colleges6 and both work with a third party, AcademicPartnerships, on instructional design, strategic planning, and enrollment management.In consultation with the Provost’s Office the colleges adopted this approach to the MOOC:  The course topic would be appropriate for both the MBA degree and the Master of Engineering degree programs.  The course would be collaboratively developed between the colleges and faculty from both colleges would participate.  The course would be offered in a half

We developed this tool toaugment prior work in design methods seeking to facilitate prototyping strategy development.This new tool was tested with a pilot experiment in which engineering students were taskedwith optimizing the design of a four-bar linkage to be used to draw a specific shape. Thestudents were then instructed to use the new prototyping planning tool to decide whether tocreate a virtual or physical prototype of a four-bar linkage, with the goal of maximizing theperformance metric detailed in the design problem statement

Our plan is to continue assessing these areas at the end of the 2013-2014 academicyear.IntroductionSince its inception, the development of teamwork skills has been integrated into the DesignThinking and Communication Program (previously “Engineering Design and Communication”),a two-quarter interdisciplinary course (DTC-1, DTC-2) required of all first-year engineeringstudents at Northwestern University.
