, the desired educational goals,objectives, and outcomes are several and described on the same interdisciplinary course website[16]. The outcomes are more focused for the specific project at hand than the broad five-department, seven-program outcomes of the course website. These outcomes include: Students design an engineering system of some complexity in a manner that produces a result that is shown to meet a client’s need. Students in a team environment bring together several aspects of their education to produce a useful solution to an engineering problem. Students create and apply engineering models in the process of stating and solving an engineering problem. Graduate student mentors lead a team to

acomplicated function can be decomposed into the composition of two simpler functions whichmay than be studied separately. Chain functions have a simple differentiation rule. In order forthe substitution technique of integration to be applicable the integrand should be seen as thederivative of a composite form. Functions that can be expressed in composite form are thefunctions whose derivatives can be integrated using the chain rule.If two variables are related and one is dependent on time, then the speeds of the two variablesmust be related. This principle leads to the section and problems in the calculus text calledrelated rates. These problems can be viewed as applications of the derivative of chain forms offunctions.Parametric forms are good for
