With the goal of improving the teamworkskills within these senior design teams, a program has been developed between the College ofEngineering and the Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Unit (CECP) of theCollege of Education. This program has involved the pairing of two groups of students. One group wascomposed of senior engineering students who were enrolled in a senior capstone design sequencein mechanical engineering. As a part of this class, these students were to meet throughout thespring semester to work in design teams on a problem provided by industry for the purposes

The existingexperiments have become dated and in many cases have devolved to demonstrations by theteaching assistants, with little hands on experimentation by the students. This has resulted inseverely decreased student satisfaction with the labs. An extensive redesign was performed todevelop hands-on, open ended lab experiments that allowed students increased control over theoutcome of the experiments. Pre-lab homework assignments require students to develop labprocedures, research sensor specifications, and develop virtual instruments in NationalInstruments’ LabView.

This real customer interaction fosters empathetic design whileproviding a more meaningful classroom experience as students are able to see directly theimpact their designs have in creating real value – value as it is defined, not by the student orinstructor, but by their customer.

greatresponse to this need including accreditation requirements requiring students to work in acollaborative, team-oriented, capstone design project. Another avenue to expose students to thistype of work is undergraduate research. But using an existing building as a laboratory lendsitself more to analysis than it does to research. In other words, the students will be seeking datato answer questions posed to them by their instructor. The students will be studying questionsthat, in many cases, already have answers. This might lead to the thought that it will be of lesservalue to the student. Some studies, however, indicate that when students are working on a large,complex, hands-on project, to them it is research and they derive many of the same benefits

Even the typical senior capstonecourse usually limits the application aspects directly to the students’ major and to what isconsidered mainstream or directly related to the discipline. Ideally, however, students shouldhave ample opportunities to integrate and apply previous course content to new courses, areas,and problems.

in the wholearea of general education, the GER Program required each academic program to develop upperlevel intensive courses in several key areas that include critical thinking, writing, oralcommunication, and GER capstone courses. The Mechanical Engineering Program developed twocritical thinking intensive, two writing intensive, two oral communication intensive, and one GERcapstone courses. The Thermal Fluid Applications Laboratory was designated as an oralcommunication intensive course. The rationale was that the laboratory course provides betteropportunity and flexibility to incorporate a variety of activities related to the oral communicationbecause of three uninterrupted contact hours per each week. In addition, the task of
