Additionally, firstyear engineering courses were taught online, but students were still placed in teams for designprojects. Instructors utilized technology such as breakout room features on the videoconferencingapplication and other social platforms to encourage discourse. The university has formalprograming to connect engineering students with their advisors. Advisors held a mixture ofonline and in-person office hours.

Session 3225 Learning the Tools and Techniques of Geographically Dispersed Collaborative Design Via a Brief Student Project Andrew P. Murray, Jon M. Stevens, Waleed W. Smari, University of DaytonAbstractEngineering design collaborations with personnel and resources distributed throughout the globe,once experimental and cutting-edge, are becoming the standard operating procedure for manycompanies. Graduating engineers now enter a business environment that requires a sophisticatedunderstanding of collaborative design and the powerful new technologies that make it
to robot designs.Due to the nature of cost and lack of opportunity, many senior engineering students working ontheir capstone project are unable to fully realize the breadth in the design and deployment ofrobotic and automation designs. Often it is impractical for engineering students to create a real-world equivalent problem to address full breadth that implementing a robotic system forautomation requires. To address this challenge, a relationship between Boys Republic and CalPoly Pomona was established which benefit both Cal Poly Pomona engineering students whileproviding a solution for Boys Republic in the assembly of Christmas wreaths.The Department of Electromechanical Engineering Technology at Cal Poly Pomona focuses onteaching
specific learning topics are driven by a large project.Many currently implemented first-year programs have highly structured projects [2],[7]. Whileengaging, these do not truly serve the need for science and engineering students to applycreativity and exercise the design process as described by Dym et al. [4]. Newer technologies,including 3D printing and microcontrollers, offer the possibility of creative, unique teamprojects; however, project-based courses using these technologies are frequently targeted athonors and senior level students [3,8,9]. Interdisciplinary team-oriented projects enhanceengagement and retention [10], and are, at least, equally effective at engaging both male andfemale populations of students [5]. This paper describes a
