Students were paid as interns for asix-week summer session. An industry or community mentor and an ECE facultymember were assigned to each team. Projects included: re-engineering an adaptivebicycle to enable use by a physically disabled child; designing a fall detector toautomatically detect a fall in an elderly person; and, implementing smart sensors tomeasure energy and water use in a residential environment.

Onemay find many references to this concept, forecasts of potential future applications, reports on in-progress test projects such as HPWREN, NIMS, and ROADnet, and potential research fundingopportunities on the NSF’s Web site[1] . However, most of this current, enthusiastic attention andpromotion of cyberinfrastructure by the NSF is aimed at senior, graduate-level researchinstitutions.

projects in a collaborative environment. Yet, anoverwhelming majority of programs do not provide students with the chance to workcooperatively across disciplinary lines. Those that do typically only allow for interactionbetween groups within the same overarching discipline such as Mechanical or ElectricalEngineering. Ideally, the capstone experience is meant to foreshadow the type of interaction andwork that a student will engage in, easing their transition into the work environment followinggraduation. In industry, engineers are expected to work collaboratively with experts in severaltechnical and non-technical domains. Subsequently, capstone classes are lacking the ability toprepare undergraduate students for membership on the interdisciplinary
