Anattempt to address this demand led to the introduction of the Pre-College Engineering forTeachers (PCET) program by Tufts University with a grant from the National ScienceFoundation [2]. The primary goals of this program are to familiarize the participating teacherswith the engineering design process, to introduce them to an assortment of projects to enhancelearning and to incorporate engineering principles in their curriculum. Starting in 2002, thisprogram has already been implemented at the high school and middle school levels and is now inprogress at the elementary school level.

Computing technologies are transforming sectors, and in the new industriallandscape, solving complex engineering problems calls for the use of computer systems as wellas cross-functional teams [1].

What is not apparent in the underclass-engineering curriculum is the amount of creativity that is necessary to solve industrial problems1.This becomes more apparent in advanced courses, such as senior design, but we must be able toretain students until that level. Additionally students feel that they will be attacking projects onan individual basis, as was the case for much of their high school experience.

INTRODUCTION.The engineering education community has embraced the concept of multidisciplinary designover the past two decades 1-3. This movement reflects a renewed emphasis on design in theengineering curriculum, particularly at the freshman (cornerstone) and senior (capstone) levels 4.The benefit of training engineers to work in multidisciplinary teams is self-evident whenconsidering the integration of mechanical design, electronics, software, human factors andergonomics, and
