The experience described in this paperwas the first offering of the senior design course that incorporated MEM students.

As in any significant change to a course, it is an on-goingprocess.

The seriousness of the effects of thedecline in the number of Americans pursuing graduate studies in engineering has frequently beenperceived differently by research academics in the nation’s universities and by the nation’s advancedengineering practitioners and technology leaders in industry. But the fact remains that a proportionatedecline in the number of Americans engaging in graduate studies in engineering, relative to foreignnationals, has occurred.
