چکیده
1 Jeffrey L. Newcomer, Engineering Technology Dept., Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA, 98225-9086, [email protected] Abstract – This paper describes two, two-course sequences that are vertically integrated through design projects. This integration allows students to learn more effectively, to more easily make connections between topics, and to learn other important skills . Vertical integration is a good solution when horizontal integration is not feasible. The results of these sequences have been very positive, so the plans for the near future are to expand them to include more courses.
