the engineering curriculum.Most engineering graduates employed in industry will work in collaborative teams. Currentprojects, particularly those in aerospace, defense, and vehicle design, are of such magnitude thatthe involvement of multiple disciplines becomes essential. Separation of disciplines essentiallydisappears in much of modern industry.1Some of the advantages of project teams include: • Teams provide the most efficient use of workers’ skills. • Employees are able to pool knowledge and ideas to arrive at better and more creative problem solutions.2 • Teamwork based on coordinated tasks and peer leadership permits removal of layers of hierarchy.3 • Teams benefit from the combination of people with diverse
involved in the course (more time for research).There were positive outcomes related to the incorporation of technology materials into thecourse, including a measurable increase in student learning and satisfaction as well as costsavings for the department. However, there were also a number of negative outcomes.Administrative time spent on the course increased considerably, and grading time did notdecrease. In addition, troubleshooting computer-related glitches, including problems such asnetwork bottlenecks, software performance, and inability of different pieces of software tocommunicate with one another, required much more faculty time than anticipated. Theexpectation that the CMS would allow for coordination and integration of different on

However, Dr. Hietpas had been involved with the project from itsbeginning and was able to provide the necessary direction to the design team. Previousdesigners had fortunately left well documented engineering notebooks [7-9], which provedextremely beneficial, and inspired the final design team to continue in the same manner. Otherchallenges stemmed from errors when transferring from prototype to final design. Oneparticular error resulted when individual comparators on the prototype were implemented in asingle IC on the PCB [6]. The problem actually existed on the prototype and was a designviolation
