work has also been influenced by industry where teams havebecome the prevalent mode of work. In fact, multidisciplinary teams have become anintegral part of product development, process improvement, and manufacturing activities.Such management techniques as concurrent engineering, total quality management, andbusiness process re-engineering are based on people effectively working together inteams. Hence, engineering educators, recognizing these trends, are designing more andmore courses around teams and providing increased opportunities for students to work inteams. These experiences range from short, decision-making exercises to course-longproject management or business simulations, and senior design capstone courses. Suchprograms as MIT’s

with regard to simple (but difficult) lecture topics.Invariably design courses will include open-ended design projects. Certain topics, like designmethodologies and concept development, are standard and repeated regardless of the designproject. Other topics are specific to the particular design project and would not be delivered eachtime the course is offered. For these, the topics may be difficult because the may be outside therealm of expertise of the instructor. That is not to say they are complex, but rather unfamiliar.Consider, for example, a project that requires the design of a fiber optic amplifier housing in acourse where neither the students nor instructor have had prior experience in the fiber opticindustry.

Circuit theory was chosen for this initiative because it is one of theearliest courses taken by our students, so by learning some problem-solving and teamwork skillsin circuit theory, students can be expected to use and develop them (at instructors’ discretion) inall subsequent ECE courses throughout the program. TBL was chosen for this effort overproject-based learning and problem-based learning for several reasons. In project-based learning,heavy emphasis is placed on the application of previously acquired knowledge, rather than itsacquisition [2]. Thus, it is well-matched to upper-level design, i.e., capstone, courses. In bothTBL and problem-based learning, on the other hand, the emphasis is on both the acquisition
