This collaboration began in the spring of 2003 with the laboratory for theMaterials Science course and now exists in the senior capstone design courses.For the Materials Science with Laboratory course, a supplemental COM course was offered inparallel to the lab in order to help students write and edit their lab reports. This served as aneffective means to help the students turn in better reports and also helped the faculty learn how tocollaborate between departments. An Engineering Style Manual was one of the early products ofcollaboration between the Aerospace Engineering and Humanities and Communicationsdepartments.Due to the writing and

By their fourth years, teams should be wellpositioned to synthesize the information necessary to optimize their designs. The centerpiece ofeach design course is an open-ended problem that students work in teams to solve. To helpstudents become skilled at this process, mentors have students learn through practice. Althoughthe mentor’s primary role is to apprentice students through their difficulties, mentors also furnishinstruction or information in carefully selected topics. “Hands-on” application of engineeringskills facilitates students’ learning and introduces

There is no way in this live format for a student to rehear or review what issaid in the classroom short of the course being taped. This aspect of the graduate education process is neither very efficient nor does it makefor a very effective learning environment. However, it is generally accepted that when thislecture course format is supplemented with one-on-one personal research project interaction witha faculty advisor the total graduate educational experience appears to work quite well andproduces acceptable results.

My ownexperience was very much this way when I entered industry after undergraduate school.Although I had completed degrees in physics and electrical engineering, I had done very littleexperimental design, I had never learned to solder, and I had done very little formally to developmy communication skills. This caused considerable stress during my first few months on thejob. When I began teaching and had the opportunity to participate in revising a two-coursesequence in advanced physics lab, I was eager to try to create a laboratory sequence thatprepared students more adequately for professional life after graduation than my ownundergraduate education had prepared me.
