Abstract

We describe a multi-university design project in which teams of students across different campuses collaborate on a design and manufacturing project. We show how such projects sensitize students to issues in concurrent engineering and train them in interpersonal skills, communications, and system integration. We believe that this approach allows us to simulate real-world conditions by imposing realistic boundary conditions on the student teams.
