The MtF students were enrolled in a course entitled "English for Specific Purposes",allowing all communications to be in English. The students were paired and exchanged resumes(CVs), biographies, and technical works such as research abstracts and design proposals.Internet cameras facilitated on-line meetings throughout the yearlong project. The two groupswere from different disciplines, thereby requiring clear English communications.

The University of Wyoming has promoted this collaborative learning by clustering students in a living environment offered by the housing department on campus. They have started on campus housing for all engineering students living on the engineering floor during fall 1995 semester. The success of this living arrangement is indicated not only by higher retention rate among engineering students but also by the ever-increasing number of students to be there18.

Once projects are awarded, freshmenenrolled in the “Introduction to Mechanical Engineering” courses are assigned to work with thesenior design teams. The senior teams function like small consulting companies that employ co-operative education students; e.g., the freshmen.One of the objectives of building this collaboration is a desire to increase the retention rate of thefreshmen by involving them with the seniors in what appears to be some interesting design work.Additionally, the seniors benefit by developing the ability to communicate their ideas to a non-technical audience as
