Teaching Collaborative Engineering Design in a Distributed Environment through Experiential Learning

Abstract

This paper presents a collaborative project conducted by Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) and Missouri University of Science and Technology (MS&T) to jointly develop collaborative engineering design instructional projects. the projects integrate engineering design, design methodology, and project management in the teaching of multidiscipline courses at two universities. Collaboration tool Teamcenter Community (TcC), and CAD tool NX are utilized in the collaboration. the collaborative design projects have been implemented in Fall 2006 and in Spring 2008. Students from two universities teamed up as groups to work on the projects. This paper presents the implementation of Teamcenter Community and the utilization of it in the collaborative design projects. Challenges and lessons learned through the collaboration are also discussed. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009.
