To enhance the students’ education, they spent several weeks in afocused experience at two of the universities with visits to the others. The intent was to broadentheir perspectives on the operations at different schools and promote interest in graduate schoolwhile learning about product platform planning. We describe the structure of the program alongwith the activities undertaken by the students. We also include an assessment of the program bythe students and plans for improving our future offering of this program.NomenclatureBOM Bill of MaterialsDSM Design Structure MatrixEBOM Enhanced Bill of

addition, many include a Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO)1 or similar type of project experience. It is difficult to fit all this content into aone-semester course. Often student teams do a good job with the analysis and fabrication of thephysical prototypes of their projects; however, their final project reports are usually of lowerquality. This seems to be especially true of their working drawings. The students have coveredthis material and have submitted related drawings assignments successfully earlier in thesemester, so the challenge is to find ways to get them to review this material on their own beforeturning in their reports without taking up additional class time.

Much of the survey was quantified using a 5-point Likertscale, but written responses were also gathered. While many different experiments are possiblewith the RC (see LTU sample laboratory assignment in Appendix B), the survey is generalenough that it is likely applicable to any college using the unit. Questions asked on the surveyare shown in Appendix C. The results compiled in this paper are derived from 19 LTU studentsurveys and

A second assumption is that the informationresulting from the pilot is sufficient in deciding how the curriculum can be improved for allstudents. Another assumption is that experience with the pilot curriculum will provide anadequate base on which to design institutionalized versions of the pilot curriculum. And finally,there is an assumption that once the new curriculum is institutionalized, the job of effectingcurricular change is complete, i.e., that maintaining and sustaining the curriculum does not requireadditional attention or innovative institutional structures. What we saw in our study was that the
