The mostcommon form for capstones in engineering are team based, some of which are single disciplinewhile others are multi-disciplinary. Literature on capstone studies have documented how toformulate teams, team group dynamics, and team peer surveys. Given new technologyadvancements, an area for continued study are strategies for how to have student teamscommunicate, collaborate and manage their designs with technology. This paper presents a seriesof trends over a 10-year span on how multi-disciplinary Architectural Engineering (AE) teamscollaborated, interfaced and communicated

for the pivot to ERT, wequickly established an online community of practice. We searched for a technology platform thatcould mimic our informal communication pathways (i.e., popping into the office next door for aquick question, break, or brainstorming session). We assessed what technology we had availableand how to use it effectively (e.g., iPads, webcams, microphones, etc.). Over the span of a fewdays, we vetted several messaging applications (e.g., text messages, WhatsApp, GroupMe,Hangouts, Slack) and chose Slack as a good fit for our department’s communication needs.During the week classes were cancelled, our department had multiple spontaneous and informalZoom training sessions to practice the new technology to learn how to better

This teaching is made up of a one hour hands-on-computer tutorial structured around a research assignment in each year and a one hour lecture inthe second year. Each session has an associated exercise sheet and a handout with extensive backupmaterial. The teaching materials are made available online to students through the University’sLearning Management System (LMS) after the lecture and tutorial

, “Of all our national assets, a trained intelligence and a capacity for innovation and discovery seem destined to be the most important”4. But the implementation of new innovations and discoveries must be tempered by the human spirit - an element that is often lacking from the education of engineers. Author Robert Pirsig believed technology should not be “an exploitation of nature, but a fusion of nature and the human spirit into a new kind of creation that transcends both.”5 This is the goal of the Smith engineering program. At Smith we define engineering as the application of science to serve humanity. This definition necessarily requires that Smith engineers appreciate the human condition, the human

Often these sites are password protected and access is provided only toenrolled students. Materials can include papers, assigned readings, pre-recorded lectures, notes,exams and quizzes. Typically, software programs, such as Blackboard, allow the instructor tocontrol when students view material and what material they view. This allows teachers to furtherdetermine when an exam is administered and the amount of time permitted to complete theexam.
