Collaborative Engineering is a discipline which studies processes where engineers from diverse disciplines cooperate to specify, design, manufacture, test, market and maintain a product.

Projects require a multidisciplinary effort, from different Engineering and Physical Sciences majors. For example, a group may design a microsystem using the SoC technology, search sensor devices to be used in the lab for security purposes, or develop a priori diagnostic techniques.

2004-2005 Catalog Data: Study of processes in which engineers from diverse disciplines cooperate to specify, design, manufacture, test, market, and maintain a product. Classes are organized in both technical and non technical flexible modules. Technical topics are advanced and relevant to project being developed, such as related research, technology, design methodology, and CAD tools. Non-technical topics include ISO9000 quality system, engineering management, budget considerations, team building, communication and leadership skills, and concurrent engineering principles. The course utilizes collaborative engineering by team development of an engineering project, often a research oriented proof-of-concept prototype. Project is developed using ISO9000 principles and the Internet, accompanied by seminars and discussion sessions run by students who have been designated project leaders.
