force students to thinkcarefully about their words and effectively improve their learning within the course. This ismotivated by the idea that if students have less to write, they will have more time to think abouttheir writing, as well as to reflect and revise, which is a critical component of improvingcomposition as well as developing self-criticism skills7. Since most engineering students plan towork in industry, real-world context is useful for giving them an idea of the types of writing theymay encounter in their future career.ImplementationTo satisfy the proposed objectives, five unique assignments were designed for the course whichinvolves the completion of five multi-week laboratory projects.

Each stationcontains a computer workstation, which is linked to the ONU LAN thereby enabling students to gain access to MAP’s LAN.Currently MAP has more than fifty projects on which students work under the direction of the EiR. Therefore the programprovides students with opportunities to work on real world projects in an environment that parallels the workplace. Theagreement also provides a mechanism whereby college of engineering faculty members may invite the EiR to participate inclass activities. For up to 15 hours per academic quarter the EiR may be call ed upon to address workplace-related issues

A major objective of theSophomore Engineering Clinic I (the third course in the 8-semester sequence) is to provide thefoundation necessary for students to become creative and effective engineering designers. Thisobjective is accomplished by requiring all students to complete a semester long design anddevelopment project. During the Fall 2000 semester, the semester-long project was to designand develop a portable bridge for domestic use that would enable a homeowner to cross a typicalbackyard brook or stream with their riding lawn mower.

“E-team” projects proposed by studentteams. “E” stands for Entrepreneurship or Excellence.Although we planned to involve engineering students from the entire College of Engineering andfrom the Business School, the overwhelming majority of the approximately 100 participants todate have come from Biomedical Engineering. Participation by others has been hindered bysome interdepartmental problems of controls and bureaucratic rules. Perhaps these difficultiesare generic and arise from the engineering tradition of professional isolation by specialization.Entrepreneurial product development needs teamwork involving technical specialists as well asthose skilled in business.

To improvestudent teamwork experiences in any course, faculty have an opportunity to apply a wealth ofknowledge from fields such as organizational or industrial psychology 5. Some argue thateffective team-based learning in capstone courses require that teams be heterogeneous and haveshared goals, meaningful activities, timely internal feedback, and external comparisons andfeedback 6. Thus, for faculty to facilitate an effective team-based learning experience, they mustbe very deliberate in the planning of team projects, milestones, activities, feedback methods, andtiming.Other research has focused on problem-based learning approaches.
