thesefactors can ultimately affect the amount of data that can be used in the assessment of amultidisciplinary program, or the quality of the data in terms of its completeness or consistency.This paper presents and discusses some of the challenges associated with accreditation ofmultidisciplinary programs in general and gives examples for two specific programs: anundergraduate program between science and engineering and a masters program betweenscience, engineering, and architecture. Based on these challenges and our experiences leading toa successful accreditation of an undergraduate multidisciplinary program between engineeringand science, a set of guidelines is proposed. These guidelines include: the targeted assessment ofhigh-level, non-elective

This paper details how to make use of an inexpensive hands-on glider design projectthat can be integrated across a short undergraduate aeronautical engineering course sequenceeffectively educating students on the practical application of aircraft design. Through theindividual design and construction of multiple balsa wood gliders over a two course sequence,each student can apply and correlate the various aspects of aircraft design with tangible,measureable results better

of students preferred the hybrid course over the traditionalcourse. Students who took the hybrid course during this semester are happy with their hybridexperience. These positive results encouraged faculty members to increase the number of hybridsections to four during the spring of 2011 and the fall of 2011 semesters. The hybrid coursedesign and course-wide assessment continued.In this paper, improvement of the online video design is introduced, and assessment results arepresented. It is believed that by switching from a traditional classroom environment to a hybridlearning, student comprehension of the course content will improve, in addition to their interestand subsequent retention in engineering.Keywords: Hybrid, MATLAB, programming
