Freshmen females spent more time gathering information (17minutes) than did freshmen males and seniors (11, 7 and 8 minutes). Senior females spent aconsiderable amount of time generating ideas as compared to the other groups (8 minutes ascompared to 1 and 3 minutes).

The MSD experience also relies heavily on technical skills and knowledgethat students acquire through their respective engineering program coursework as well asfoundational courses. After a comprehensive MSD course assessment and evaluation during thesummer of 2006, the MSD program educational outcomes (student learning expectations),describing what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of the MSDexperience, are as follows:1.

In addition to being technically challenging,these projects require that the students address both social and ethical issues as well astechnical issues. The product that the students at OSU, WSU, and SCC have addressed isthe design and manufacture of a robotic arm that is attached to a battery-poweredwheelchair. This is an ideal project for multi-university design because it is technicallychallenging from an engineering standpoint, and it would be difficult to complete by a singleteam of 4-6 students at any one university.
