, where the students picked from a list, and finished the design during thelast three weeks of the quarter. The content of the course has remained the same after integration,except that now students are involved in E-Teams instead of the final project. Methodology With the aid of the Grant, the course is modified to include E-Teams of up to 4 student each.The students are all juniors or seniors, and may have had traditional machine design courses.Students are assigned to E-teams on the first day of class, randomly, and are asked to formthemselves into a fictitious company, and operate as such. This includes, but is not limited to,company name and logo, set of by-laws about the relationship between the

On twodifferent occasions we participated directly in the student experience, with the students, bycarrying out a project ourselves. This meant that we carried out all of the same activities asstudents such as site visits

This paper presents the implementation of a peer-review cycleinto the team course project in both a junior-level structural analysis course and a senior-levelcapstone civil engineering design course. The peer review process asks students to evaluate andprovide feedback on both the analytical content as well as the written presentation of the project.This process allows students to see different approaches to the same problem. Their familiaritywith the problem allows them to provide constructive feedback, while reviewing the work ofanother group allows them an objectivity they cannot yet apply to their own work.
