Students, both traditional and non-traditional, are given an opportunity to demonstrate, advance, and refine technical andsupervisory competencies learned in the classroom and in the laboratories. “Internshipsgive you on-the-job experience, help you learn whether you and that industry are a goodmatch, and can provide you with valuable connections and references.” 1Graduates with this type of resume-worthy experience have a substantial advantage overpeers with

Ideally, if theyidentified their capstone project after the first course in design, they would exercise the designprocess over a longer time frame, internalize it, and advance their thought process on the overallproject. With only a few two semester capstone projects, many cadets spend their timecomprehending the scope and trying to “get their arms around” their one semester capstone.Additionally, the internal support required for faculty to manage extensive design opportunitiescannot be met.

Toward this end, we have developed aset of indicators which classify design problems between those for which the preferable design isa transformer, devices with multiple functional states, or a monomorph, devices with a singlefunctional state. The indicators reveal, at an early stage in the design process, if developing atransformable product is likely to be advantageous. A novel design methodology is proposedwhich incorporates the indicators and has been tested at teaching institutions of higher education.Design application trials are used as a method for determining the impact of this

Many studies have shown that when correctly implemented, cooperative learningimproves information acquisition and retention, higher-level thinking skills, interpersonal andcommunication skills, and self-confidence (Johnson, Johnson, and Smith, 1998).Holding each student individually accountable for work done in a team setting is a cornerstoneof cooperative learning.
