student’s points of view. Areas of future research will also be discussed.Review of Literature Most engineering schools use team based projects, or laboratory assignments to helpstudents develop skills necessary for their professional careers. Teamwork skills havetraditionally been developed by assigning students to teams. To some extent, this approach doesproduce results, but a better approach was undertaken at the University of Dayton[4] wherestudent teams were instructed on teambuilding and leadership. One of their suggestions was notonly to instruct, but to give students opportunities to work on teams where students refine theirskills as they mature though the engineering program. Many researchers have struggled with thedifficult task of

After this initialization procedure, all commands to alter theoutputs were received incorrectly by the chargers. The values entered into the GUI were not thevalues being sent to the chargers and use of the command prompt line showed the inaccuracies ofwhat the GUI was showing and the values being read into the individual chargers.Revisions to address the incomplete success of version 1.0 At the 2008 ASEE Annual Conference in Pittsburgh, we presented a successful model fororganizing and teaching students using large, daunting projects like this. 5 This model againproved successful in enabling completion of this project on time and within budget.

means of instruction in engineering, while sportshave been around for eons. There have been many great coaches through the years that have writtenmuch on how to achieve success on the court or field. This paper discusses the ways in which theliterature on coaching has been used to influence teaching practices in a senior design course using PBL.The paper first reviews literature on the subject. Next the roles of both the coach and the instructor areexplored to draw parallels between coaching and PBL. This is followed by a discussion on techniquesused by some of the best coaches organized into three main areas: 1) Practice and games 2) Teamworkand individual performance, and 3) Feedback for individual improvement.

averaged61 graduates per year over the past 40 years. The CEE curricula are summarized in the Un-dergraduate Catalog as programs that “emphasize practical applications of engineering withsufficient theory so that an individual can grow with the future as new materials, methods, anddesigns develop.” The vast majority of graduates enter professional practice. Students whopursue graduate school directly upon graduation are recruited by a number of schools andhave been very successful. The department faculty is a relatively young, dedicated, and col-legial group that is regarded as exemplary throughout the university in terms of teaching ef-fectiveness and in professional development.The existing curriculum at UWP is typical of conventional CEE
