Looking out into a classroom of young faces today, it is easy to wonder how many of them use theirclassroom learning to question the phenomena they see from day to day. What percentage of engineering stu-dents regularly attempt hands-on explorations of everyday happenings they see in their home or their car? Thepercentage is way too low, and this is a shame because explaining phenomena in a hands-on and analyticalway is very, very educational, as well as just plain fun. Page 1.232.2-., ---- - @2&

Theseteams are known to decrease time-to-market, reduce costs, and improve quality. Terms such as concurrentengineering, simultaneous engineering, and integrated product development have been used to describe thework performed by these product design teams. Engineering education has been slow to follow this trend. For the most part, students take courses andperform laboratory exercises in their chosen major, with little exposure to other disciplines. They rarely, ifever, work together with students from other disciplines. There are numerous reasons for this phenomenon.On one hand, the scope of required topics has
