from the traditional productdevelopment process, which focuses on optimized designs for individual products. Productfamily planning places a much higher demand on management of information of multiple typesand from multiple sources. In response, researchers at four universities are collaborating on thedevelopment of an information technology infrastructure to support product platform planning.This is a relatively new development in engineering design that is typically not part of theundergraduate education; therefore, we see an intrinsic relationship between the need forintegrating the development of research directly with educational enhancements to teach studentsabout these concepts.

Hour long workshopsare not long enough to learn to effectively use these techniques, and do not seem to result inlong-term adoption of these practices in the classroom. To help address this problem, five virtualcommunities of practice (VCP) were established to
