The resources required span a wide range of people,including faculty, technicians and graduate students, space, equipment, and money. All of thoseitems are scarce resources at all universities. At Virginia Tech we have been fortunate to haveadequate funding, administrative support, bright students who were interested, and faculty withthe desire to both work with students and to participate in the design and realization of theseprojects. From the early 1980’s until the late 1990’s, however, space was a continuing problem.Teams worked wherever shop space could be found. Often the space was not well-suited for the

of one semester ending and another yet to begin, we decided to give ourvery different classes a chance to develop their disciplinary expertise alongside another’s. Wehoped the questions we heard each other asking would also spur the students to think morebroadly in their research. We hoped by working alongside each other we could develop aneducated respect for disciplines that so rarely talk to each other, even in the tools and skills theyemphasize: Women’ s Studies and Engineering. We saw our classes’ research projects as ameans to develop multi-disciplinary skills rather than inter-disciplinary ones.

rather than teamcreativity and innovation. In this model, the university, to a large extent, conducts academicexploration independent of the economic constraints imposed by a market economy. That is,universities were isolated from the market forces of supply and demand, price competition andthe process of creative destruction.In the 1990’s, many firms in both the production-of-goods and the service sectors realized thatknowledge was an asset much like capital equipment. Moreover, firms found that sharing and/ormanaging interdisciplinary knowledge was a distinctive competitive advantage in the innovationprocess; thus the term Knowledge Management (KM) was coined, although the management ofwhat one knows has been a human activity since the

This program received the 1999 Boeing Outstanding Educator Award, in recognitionof its quality and effectiveness in providing a well-rounded engineering design education.The program objectives were developed in response to the call by industry for baccalaureateengineers to possess a broader set of skills beyond their analytical and computer skills. This call wasstrengthened by the Engineering faculty’s observation of the students’ experiences in senior capstonedesign during the late 1980’s and 1990’s.
