Manyfaculty members, particularly the engineering technology faculty, have a significant amount ofindustrial experience, so a wide variety of potential project experts are available. This has beentried for two years with good success, and plans are for it to continue. The expert can providethe students with valuable background information to help them realize the importance andrelevance of the project to real world situations. The students seem to appreciate this. Since theexpert is another faculty member, he/she can be available on a regular basis as a consultantduring the entire semester.The first year that this concept was used the students were required to design a cooling systemfor an injection mold for a plastic part
