Abstract
With engineering students facing increasing distractions, it has become more and more challenging to design and create attractive means to recruit and retain them. In the paper we present an interdisciplinary senior design project with collaboration of electrical and mechanical engineering students which attempted to transmit real-time video from a high altitude balloon from 100,000 feet altitude. Through this experience, students have learned principles of integrated engineering technology, and sharpened their skills in cooperative learning, effective learning and team work. The learning outcome of this project was measured by post-course questionnaires, course evaluations and student interviews conducted by the department chair before graduation. All students expressed positive learning experiences after participating in this interdisciplinary project and indicated that the learning outcomes were successfully achieved.
