Equipping Multi-disciplinary Student Teams to Manage Multi-Semester Design Projects Carla Zoltowski, William Oakes, Leah Jamieson Purdue UniversityIntroductionA challenge facing many institutions is how to bring “real” design experiences into thecurriculum. Introducing “real” design experiences, where the purpose is to expose students toopen ended problems and multiple solution paths and to encourage creativity, into the classroom,brings many concerns for the faculty. These include guiding the students through the designprocess over multiple semesters with multidisciplinary and vertically integrated teams thatchange from semester to semester
