interdisciplinary teams, makes projects even morechallenging.There also appears to be a general lack of ability by students to function on teams.2,3 We agreewith Lewis et al.4, that engineering faculty cannot afford to take a chance to leave team buildingprocesses to students without some guidance. It is also not enough to give students a conceptualmodel of teaming skills, such as presented by Carley.5 Students are unable to translate theseskills into practice. They are simply overwhelmed and often do not have the proper backgroundfor building effective teams. In general, it has also been our observation that students do notlearn a great deal from a project that has failed miserably. This is not to say that students shouldnot be allowed to fail, only that

For TheAerospace Institute this analogy has been modified to an analogy between course design andsystems engineering, which is a concept very familiar to its instructors. This paper walksthrough this methodology and offers suggestions for implementation that should be useful in avariety of educational environments. Examples are provided throughout to illustrate theconcepts.

Introduction Engineering design takes place within a societal culture, and especially within a company. Its mainpurpose is to generate the details that should be manufactured, assembled, tested, and delivered in the form of aproduct, or providing instructions for implementing a process, to satisfy a perceived need. Such a processusually needs some ttechnical) products to help in its implementation -- and they have to be selected and/ordesigned. Designing involves generating an agreed statement about the nature of the problem, and the perfor-mance (values

For example, standardized exams have been criticizeddue to concerns of reduced instructor autonomy1 and alteration of curriculum goals (teaching tothe test);2 in addition, the results of standardized tests may be influenced by student motivation.3On the other hand, student self-evaluations of learning and/or knowledge are subjective. It hasbeen argued by several researchers that combining different types of assessment tools results in amore successful assessment.4,5Equally important, perhaps, the assessment data obtained must be analyzed and presented in anefficient

IntroductionSeveral faculty who teach mechanical and electrical engineering commented that students aresometimes weak in vector algebra [1,2,3]. This prompted us to do a preliminary survey ofstudents in classes taught by one of us. We found that first-year students were weak intrigonometry. Students at University choose engineering either because they like to do it, forfinancial reasons or they want to contribute to humanity [4]. Preliminary data in this study andfrom teaching experience suggest that they have some weakness in vector mathematics whichtends to
interest to the general public.Engineering educators have special need to be familiar with the vocabulary of internationaldevelopment for several reasons. 1) The skills and competencies they possess, teach and practiceare among the most valuable to countries trying to respond to critical events and improve theirlot. 2) The emphasis on preparation of engineers for international practice has made overseasprojects such as those associated with Engineers Without Borders attractive as a component ofthe undergraduate curriculum. 3) Making it possible for engineering students to indulge in bothinternational travel and community service increases the attractiveness of engineering as a major.But the world of development is increasingly specialized, complex
