Visual aides are provided throughout the case, including photosof various PolythermTM designs, the pizza warmer under study, and its detailed schematic diagramthat includes all dimensions, material properties, components, and wiring diagram (Fig. 1.a and1.b). While navigating through the case, the student is faced with “challenges,” small problems,and is asked to address these challenges with his/her teammates. The main challenge here is tomodel the pizza warmer’s electrical circuit and to solve for the total resistance, current, power,and energy consumption. The case can also take various other tracks such as product design,thermodynamics/heat transfer, and/or business applications (engineering economy

The Truss Frame is successfully designed andconstructed. The unit displays appreciable deformations under several loading scenarios. Theexperience gained in this process has been quite valuable both for the Coordinator and thecollaborating student designers. Design and manufacture of another experiment and apparatus -"Stresses in an I–Beam," has benefited substantially from the valuable lessons learned in thisexercise.A photograph of the unit is placed in Appendix: B.

Next a lecture waspresented on the material using the experimental results followed by a presentation of the theory.IntroductionThere is a tremendous potential for the use of electrochemical engineering in growth areas suchas fuel cells, bio-sensors, electrochemical sensors and batteries. In addition many new greenchemical reactions are being proposed to replace traditional organic reactions. Newenvironmental separation processes are being used for the removal of metals from wastewater.In addition to these new processes, traditional areas of chemicals production

Grade data were converted from an alphabetical form to a numeric value, wheregrades of A, B, C, D, F, or W were converted to 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 or blank, respectively. Again, theGLM procedure was used. Frequency counts by test group and grades were performed andpercentages of students receiving different grades were calculated.

Prior to Phase Three, it was recognized that assessmentsemerging from Phases One and Two provided only indirect statements about team performance.For example, team reflection and logs provided valuable information about in-progress teamdevelopment, but they did not speak to whether the teams learned teaming skills, specificallythose required of them in multidisciplinary teams. Therefore, a teaming rubric was created thatoutlines specific behavioral outcomes expected for an effective multidisciplinary team (seeAppendix B).
