In a program where project-based courses wereoffered at the beginning (First-Year Engineering Projects) and at the end (Senior CapstoneDesign) of an engineering curriculum, Kotys-Schwartz et al. found a decline in studentconfidence in professional and technical skills during their sophomore and junior years whenthey were not engaged in PBL7.

Itcompletes the process by opening the right doors for the students to apply the correct planning,designing, building and testing procedure for a successful project.

Engineering students are taking, on average, fewerengineering courses at a time when by almost universal estimation the complexity of the modernengineering project continues to mount (Allenby 2000/2001; Bordogna 1998; Clough 2000;TCFPD 2001). To confront the challenges of the 21st century, engineers need to polish their non-technical repertoire, and this includes developing closer ties with the liberal arts.

One result ofthese changes is that both design and communication have been given increasinglyimportant treatment in undergraduate engineering curriculum. Project-based courseshave been gaining acceptance as a means to introduce design experiences into thecurriculum prior to the senior capstone design course4-6.

Sooner City also provides a framework for multidisciplinaryintegration.Sooner City essentially turns the engineering curriculum into a four-year design experience.Consequently, when students enroll in the traditional senior “capstone” course, they are betterprepared to handle complex, multidisciplinary projects involving other engineers (mechanical,electrical, and industrial) and environmental scientists, the hallmark of the department's
