engineeringcurriculum at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This sequence of courses provide a platformfor students to develop and improve their oral and written communication skills. After taking afreshman engineering design course, each student admitted to biomedical engineering in thesophomore year does a team design project each semester for six sequential semesters. Theteams work on progressively more challenging real-world projects submitted by clients fromaround the university and from industry. While advancing their technical and problem-solvingskills through successive projects, the students also learn interpersonal and publiccommunication skills through this experience.IntroductionBeginning in 1998, we started teaching a sequence of design courses

: An existing laboratory course was overhauled and refocused to boost student’sskills in design, crafting, self-efficacy, troubleshooting, and expertise in the field of MedicalElectronics. The strategy was to use problem oriented methodology in a collaborative setup.Results: The main learning objectives were fulfilled and students reported a high level ofsatisfaction with the content and the methodology of the course.IntroductionCollaboration in education is seen as joining intellectual efforts between groups of students orbetween students and instructors to achieve a common goal. Collaborative learning is the heart ofproblem-based learning, which emphasizes a more “natural learning” [2]. Cooperative learningrepresents an active field of
