The designobjectives were successfully met by the student teams, and students reported improvements intheir Computer Aided Design (CAD) skills, understanding of electrical and mechanicalintegration in complex machines, and ability to function as a member of a team. This approachhas also been used in capstone design courses by creating teams consisting of students fromdifferent disciplines15,16,17. In each case, the authors reported satisfactory project results andstudent experiences.Another theme observed in the literature was the use of a joint project among multiple cohortswithin the same engineering discipline. This application is most relevant to the methodsdiscussed in this paper. Mynderse et al

-energy design project. This curriculum model is easily transferable to other engineeringdisciplines. However, academic departments must be cognizant of the potential strain placed onavailable student resources if this model is implemented too broadly.(2) Background Facilitating learning for novice designers can be difficult and a delicate balance between self-directed learning and coaching; the advisor must build the student’s confidence in seeking andovercoming independent intellectual challenges. One of the hardest things to teach is how torecognize and deconstruct a problem. Novice designers may focus on generating solutionsinstead of fully understanding or analyzing a problem.3 Furthermore, Smith et al. suggest thatstudents’ lack of

As the project progressed,however, we developed skills in many fields beyond those we initially set out for, including CADmodeling, design for manufacturing, fabrication techniques, and interaction with externalmanufacturing facilities. We also gained experience with performing a literature search, as, out ofnecessity, we sought out and compiled sources of information on electric propulsion, and weeventually interfaced directly

Forinstance, faculty complained that they were not able to improve the quality of instruction becauseindustry projects are only offered once. Moreover, industry projects require faculty to spendmore time on course preparation. Finally, due to the multidisciplinary nature (electrical,mechanical, etc.) of industry projects, students’ motivations were occasionally decreased whenthe project did not match with students’ interests.In this paper, we compare aspects of industry and internal projects with respect to professionaland technical learning, measures
