competition (A SAEevent in which the students compete with “miniature” off-road vehicles they have built.) Thevehicle was entirely designed and fabricated by the club according to SAE guidelines. It wasinnovative in that it was designed with hydraulic drive instead of a mechanical transmission.Unfortunately this design along with a very conservative frame (very strong – very heavy)caused the vehicle to be extremely heavy. The club did successfully compete in the SAEcompetition and drew many positive comments about the design; however the weight of thevehicle caused the performance of the vehicle to bepoor. (Competition vehicles use a standard 10hpgasoline engine and the vehicle weighed in at 750pounds. The next vehicle they built weighed in at

senior levelID students began experimenting with cross-disciplinary collaboration by participating in aCapstone program with manufacturing and mechanical engineering students. One of the reasonsfor the move from Fine Arts to Engineering was to strengthen these collaborative efforts and tolook for new collaborative opportunities.However, strengthening and increasing the effectiveness of these collaborative efforts (andtherefore student interest) has not been easy. One obvious difficulty in maintaining collaborativerelationships between students from various disciplines is inherent in the school based system –that of quick turn over between students. However, a larger difficulty manifests itself whenstudents and faculty lack a common understanding
