The course, which has been offered regularly since 2002,culminates with an exhibition of visual work and a screening of video projects. In this paper Idescribe the elements of the course, its implementation at our College with examples of studentwork, assessment tools, course evaluations, and plans for dissemination of the course

The decision to change from a Quarter system toa Semester plan was driven, in a strong way, by the cooperative education division of theUniversity who responded to their cooperative education employers who had requestedthat the students spend more time-at least six months-in a full time, engineering workenvironment.

John Cena began bytalking with other boys about weekend plans interspersed with questions about the lesson, thenmoving away from those boys to work on his design with another boy. Both boys focused ontheir work and designed and tested their products. John Cena’s behavior suggested a move from“hanging out”/situational to “messing around”/transitional interest.
