At that time, WPI redesigned its graduation requirements to include two required projects [2].One project is undertaken within the student’s major field of study is completed during the senior year. A secondproject is usually completed during the junior year and challenges students to work on an interdisciplinary problemat the interface of science, technology, and societal needs [4].

successful program development occurred due to thecooperative strategy employed and careful consensus building during early concept formation. Conversely, thefailures occurred due to the lack of a cooperative strategy employed during the early development of the failedprograms: either the vision was not sufficiently well articulated or the collaborator(s) were not sufficiently engagedto develop and advocate for a shared vision. In other words, clarity of vision is not sufficient; process matters.Keywords: Engineering administration, experiential learning, program development, wisdom. Circuits & Sensing Design & UTeach

important to keep inmind the goals of using a formative assessment strategy. Ultimately, the goal of assessing aportion of the design process is to assist student motivation and learning. This is a primaryobjective of formative assessment, which uses a circular process of evaluating, providingfeedback, and corrective instruction7. By informing students of the importance of the problemdefinition phase, it can help set the stage for the balance of the project and ensure that creativesolutions are developed in an orderly and timely fashion. Students also become quickly familiarwith the formative rubric assessment scheme early in the project.Key ConceptsBy adopting Dominick et al.’s outline for the design phase, it is logical to employ a breakdownof

Because ofsafety, manufacturing costs, and limitations of current technology, autonomous off-road vehicles,such as people movers in large industrial or academic institutions, will probably emerge beforeautonomous high-speed highway driving.
