  • Title: Using a multidisciplinary team approach in biomedical engineering senior design.
    Author: Enderle JD, Pruehsner W, Macione J, Hallowell B.
    Journal: Biomed Sci Instrum; 2000; 36():63-8. PubMed ID: 10834210.
    Abstract:
    Under Criterion 4, the Professional Component of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Engineering Criteria 2000, a curriculum culminating in a major design experience is required. In addition, under Criterion 3, program graduates must demonstrate an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams. This paper describes some team related issues in senior design at University of Connecticut (UConn) with National Science Foundation (NSF) Senior Design Projects to Aid Persons with Disabilities and industry-sponsored projects. While these Criteria can both be satisfied in a senior design course sequence, it is not the most desirable method to achieve satisfactory results. Effective teamwork involves skills that may be learned in classes and training sessions. It is best achieved through team experiences in a series of courses, ideally beginning the freshman year.
