functions are often easy to use, since the functions were designed towork together. For example, a course management system (CMS) such as the Moodle (OSS)provides a variety of functions designed to work smoothly together, and includes functions thatcan support team projects; this can be a good first approach for institutions that already have aCMS. Similarly, the Trac project management system combines SVN, a wiki, and task tracking;we use it for industry projects and student team projects. There are a variety of other groupwaresystems designed to support communication, collaboration, and coordination.Although some multifunction tools are more difficult to install and maintain than individualtools, the total effort is usually less than the effort

More and more projects are now distributed across global sites andeffective collaboration requires professionals who can work productively with colleagues whoare very different from themselves.Academic, industry and government institutions have recognized the need of globalcompetencies for engineering students. Grandin (2009) discussed the value added through theexperience of engineering work and study abroad, as well as on the lessons learned over theseventeen year history of the University of Rhode Island program3.

].Team-based senior design courses rely heavily on collaboration and provide ample opportunityfor students to practice the leadership skills they learn in these lectures. However, applying theseskills requires that students also understand the implied value of developing these skills and canexemplify the development of these skills through their current team experience. Hence, thehypothesis is that students need to be motivated in order to actively pursue to develop leadershipskills.

Our program emphasizes breadth not onlyacross engineering disciplines, but also uses a solid foundation in the liberal arts that provides thebroad worldview on which effective leadership arises. Our outcome-based assessment of recentyears appears to reflect an industry need for more breadth and thus less depth. While depthprovides good preparation for entry level positions and the first five years or so of a career,contextualization better supports the full career span, which requires continual self-learning andoften has leadership opportunities in technical and non-technical areas.While engineering analytical skills are important

Traditionally, PBL at CSULA has been implemented as follows.During the lectures, the instructor models the design process for the students and then thestudents apply the process in their project assignment after class. However, in this case, thefeedback loop is not immediate to either the instructor presenting the material or the student Page 12.1195.3trying to apply the concepts. The desire for an efficient and effective way to teach designcomponents motivated us to propose an in class PBL model which progressively trains thestudents using small collaborative in-class projects.Figure 1(a
