A focus group was held at the beginning of the semester to identify thestudents' vision of a successful tutoring service.

This is especially a problem for a smaller company that does not have replacements atevery level of the process. While preventing all injuries is ideal, it is also unrealistic. Reducing the risk ofinjury is the goal of the Personal Blind Spot Information System.Initially, with the haptic design, the design team was very concerned that they may have issues with activepatents.

The two most common causes of damage was dropping it on thefloor or crushing the display by putting the PDA inside of a book bag. Most students said thatthey experimented with the device when they first got it, but that they stopped using it when thesemester began. The students said that they did not have time to learn how to use it. The fact that the students had abandoned their PDAs is not the issue.

They were evaluated on final weight, style,presentation, and analysis, with the latter making up the bulk of the score.The project provided several opportunities for students to connect directly with real world designissues in a way that wouldn’t have been possible without the industry partnership. For one, studentsfelt the pressure of competition to achieve the lightest wheel, just as Accuride must keep pace withindustry competitors to maintain or grow their market share. In addition, they were held account-able for weaknesses in their analysis process. For example, the industry panel quickly identifiedsharp corners

-oriented aspect.Lessons learned from the multi-year multi-team aspect: 1. Having the same faculty advisor for the entire multi-year project duration is a pre- requisite. This ensures a smooth transition from one group to the next, from one year to the next. It also reduces the time for ‘relearning’ the project if a new faculty were to take over in the middle of the project. 2. It is important to adhere to the scheduled weekly meeting between project advisor and team members to ensure proper progress is made in the project. 3. It is beneficial to have the same client throughout the four years. The client can provide feedback concerning the progress of the design as well as evaluate the work of the

Shortly after each milestone, the instructors meet with each team for 30 minutes to clarify any issues, discuss their impressions on the state of the project and make concrete suggestions, as well as to gauge student spirits and inquire about problems or concerns. This interactive meeting replaces the more traditional practice of instructors evaluating the merits of student projects while having limited visibility of the context, followed by writing a “verdict” email to the team about the instructors’ opinion on the state of the project. The informal atmosphere of these project meetings is critical for putting students at ease and for achieving

Herkert has described the need for curriculumthat engages with macro-ethical concerns such as engineers’ sociopolitical responsibility andconsideration of how their practices affect multiple stakeholders. He has argued that consideringthese concerns is essential so that engineers can be given tools that will enable them to deal withcomplicated ethical issues that arise in their roles (Herkert, 2005).
