It was decided to holdthe design competition over a five week period in July and August when students from bothinstitutions were between semesters. It was also decided that there would be four teams, eachwith one Japanese engineering student and one ODU engineering student, each student beingselected by his or her institution. Each team would have one student with an electricalbackground and one with a mechanical background. The design competition would not be a“heads on” vehicle competition, but would involve an electro-mechanical design project that theteams could design and build in five weeks and have their solutions judged.

Thisresulted in a publication presented at the Frontiers in Education Conference in 2013 which is co-sponsored by IEEE and ASEE.

As such, they are hallmarks of what Froyd, Wankat, and Smith have identified as fivemajor shifts in engineering education over the past 100 years, which include “a shift tooutcomes-based education and accreditation” and “a shift to applying education, learning, andsocial-behavorial sciences research.”1Now that the ABET Engineering Criteria have been in place since the mid-1990s, we may expectfurther shifts, specifically in the
