During this semester’s activities, all ofthe finite element analysis results were reasonable. Overall, the teaming experience proved to bevaluable but several improvements are planned in the future. Planned modifications includesmaller teams, better documentation of team activities through the use of a team binder andproviding more guidelines for teaming activities.5.0 AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Directorate for Educationand Human Resources (EHR), Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE), Course, Curriculumand Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) Award No. 0088315.References1.

elective for the Cornell students and, for all SU and many CUseniors, the course was used to satisfy their capstone design requirement. Early in the semesterthe students were split into six teams of five or six students. Each team had members fromSyracuse and Cornell, thereby requiring each team to collaborate at a distance. Two “team-building events” were held early in the semester: an outdoor challenge course and an afternoonof project planning followed by bowling. These helped students get to know each other sociallyand significantly eased the distance collaboration processes. Each team was given the task to perform the preliminary design of a thermo-structural systemfor a specific location on the vehicle shown in Figure 1. Three locations

years ago, the authors developed the concept of Just-In-Time Education™ (JITE).It follows many of the principles of Just-in-Time (JIT) Manufacturing. A brief history of JITeducation is summarized to provide an overview of the approach.The JITE objectives were converted into chapter outlines. These outlines are being converted intotheory, laboratory, and technical-communications text material. Each of the resulting texts isbeing designed so it can be used separately or as a package. Finally, an instructor’s manual isbeing developed that will contain strategies for presenting all or a portion of the instruction-material package in part and also as an entity.A trial offering of this course is planned for the Fall of 2004.

specifically to suit all various industrial demands, establishment ofa closer interdisciplinary activity among different fields seems to be necessary. This can beexplained as if companies plan to hire students after the second year, but leave them at theuniversity for another two years. Then the post-employment educational program can beperformed at the university. Several studies have been done regarding the importance of the relationship betweenuniversities and industries. Upgrading the training laboratories in the universities with modernstate of the art advanced equipment, with the assistance of local industries, will not only attractcompetitive students to engineering fields, but also trains them for modern industries8.

Each stage of creating the product required a methodical approach to ensure quality and reliability. After completing each stage, the final product met all the requirements described in the instruction except for requiring a For loop in the code. My method of organizing the interaction between each component did not need a For loop to be implemented. From this I learned that each program can be made in a variety of ways.
