A long-term design project that integrates knowledge from multiple courses strengthens student knowledge retention. 2. A large-scale design project requiring tools from many courses improves student problem-solving and design skills.By integrating five semesters of the mechanical engineering curriculum into a cohesive whole,this project has the potential to transform the way undergraduate education is delivered. Beforeand after testing is being conducted to assess: a) Change in retention between courses and b)Change in student problem-solving and design skills.The centerpiece of the hybrid powertrain is the planetary gearset, which combines

evaluation questions we posed to participants. To assesswhether our conference model and structure assisted or impeded our goals the evaluator askedquestions related to (a) extent to which individual sessions provided opportunity forcontributions to conference goals (b) extent to which individual sessions affirmed the value ofparticipants’ input (c) extent to which individual sessions provided new knowledge, insight orunderstanding for the participant (d) overall session impact. Below, we present our participants’feedback to these four questions.At the end of the conference, our external evaluator administered online surveys to collect datafrom participants about their experience in the conference and the value they believed eachsession had with
