assimilation and cultivation oflifelong learning skills. Self-directed learning activities also make students have an intrinsicbelief that one is responsible for one’s own learning [ 4 ] .The current MNET curriculum produces manufacturing technology program graduates thatare not as strong in understanding the overall methodology of design as expected. This has Page 11.790.2been a shortcoming identified in our outcomes assessment data as indicated by results on theSociety of Manufacturing Engineers Certified Manufacturing Technologist (CMfgT) examand other program assessments. It is important for MNET students to be able to develop anddesign tools and

Graduate studentparticipants were able to meet the technical challenges of the project with minimal facultyassistance; however, some experienced difficulty in developing conceptual questions and threadswhen developing laboratory analysis exercises.Introduction This paper addresses a collaborative method in which members of an engineering technologygraduate course elected to revive and enhance an undergraduate electronics communicationslaboratory course as a component of a group project. Although material presented hereincontains specific technical detail pertaining to the given project, the overall approach andmethods can be adapted to curricula across a range of

broader influence of this course onthe environmental engineering curriculum has not been fully assessed. However, immediatebenefits include allowance for more design in the biochemical treatment and hazardous wastetreatment courses. In addition, by revisiting many of these topics (Table 5) in subsequentcourses, students experience a period of growth and reflection followed by a period of learning ata higher level in the cognitive domain. Because the course is somewhat new (developed in 2003) our assessment reveals thatrevisions are required. For example, following the spring 2005 semester, course outcome (j)received an assessment score of amber (scale: green, amber, or red) because many students feltlost at the beginning of the lab period
