The paper will present a brief history of theevolution of these courses as well as factors that have led to their change. As an example, in anapplied design environment, a strong collection of support tools is crucial. The particular toolsets previously used in the three courses will be described and various considerations associatedwith their selection, acquisition

. We have no quarrel whatsoever with the scientific skills we see in students coming out of this nation's engineering schools. But what we do have a problem with is their ability to see the big picture. Program management, problem solving, timing, the principles of quality - these basic business principles need to be an integral part of the core curriculum. And the fact of the matter is that teams are becoming the norm out of necessity - because that's the only way we can be competitive. Idea number three - Get off the dime.

The course involves developing a comprehensive project during these3 quarters; including a demonstration of a working prototype (a physical product rather than acomputer based model or data from experiments/process/procedure). Students must develop anew or improved product or technology during their senior design sequence. Each project will bedeveloped by a team of 3 to 4 students. Usually teams are a mix of both mechanical andelectrical engineering technology concentrations.This course is an excellent capstone experience, which requires both teamwork and individualskills to solve a modern industrial problem.
