A senior-level design laboratory course is described, in which an optical fiber communication network is expanded or improved by successive generations of students. In this evolutionary approach, student teams base their work on the final written reports of students in previous course offerings. In addition to its primary goal of providing a high-level technical experience, the course requires multidisciplinary teamwork and provides incentive for the development of effective oral and written communication skills. Results of four offerings of the course are presented
Communication skills · Course (navigation) · Engineering management · Incentive · Management · Medical education · Multidisciplinary approach · Multimedia · Teamwork · Work (physics) · Computer Science · Engineering · Experimental Learning in Engineering · Mechanical Engineering
