Teamwork is more than just a buzzword in engineering.
It makes the difference between a good engineering project and an excellent one. In the College of Engineering and Applied Science, Discovery Learning teams range from being small in size with just a few students working with one faculty member and industry partner, to being very large, encompassing students living in other parts of the country, faculty members at other institutions and industry representatives. Even the largest of teams will be able to come together in the Bechtel Learning Collaboratory, a distance videoconferencing facility to be located on the ground floor of the new Discovery Learning Center. The collaboratory will be able to accommodate 120 to 150 people with distance video capacity to bring in many more from remote locations. The collaboratory, which will be available for scheduling by programs throughout the college, can also be subdivided into three smaller rooms depending on the needs.
