A simplesearch in the ASEE PEER database on “S.W.O.T. Analysis” led to three results where it has beenimplemented [4, 5, 6].For this activity, the students received two sticky notes in four different colors and were shown theprompts in Figure 1a, b, c, and d, one at a time. Strengths and weaknesses were considered internalto the students who were instructed to think of their two strengths, write one per sticky, and thenplace them on the board under “Strengths.” The same was done for “Weaknesses”, “Opportunities”,and “Threats” using a different color sticky for

Students are asked to return ordonate only functional, non-customized parts. The large number of students and large volume ofparts led us to establish an assembly-line-style drop-off system for parts. Sets of bins fordifferent items are placed in several stations in the lab space (Figure 2A), and teams deposit theitems into the appropriate bin. As appropriate, (e.g., for motors), information sheets and/or bagsare supplied to keep sets of items and/or their specifications together (Figure 2B). A B Figure 2

Research shows that integrated curricula not only enhanceconceptual understanding but also improve student retention [1], [2]. While integration is moreachievable in the first year due to common courses, extending this approach across the curriculumfrom freshman to junior year remains a significant challenge.This paper presents a cost-effective, interdisciplinary learning kit that supports active learningthrough hands-on engagement and cross-course alignment.
