  • Abstract
    The Foundation Coalition at Texas A&M University-Kingsville formed a second year team to develop an integrated engineering sophomore year curriculum. The team consisted of ten faculty members from all the engineering disciplines plus physics and mathematics. Six of the faculty were senior faculty. The team operated using weekly (1-2 hour) workshop sessions. The principles of teaming were applied and the team followed a code of cooperation. This paper discusses the results from the teaming effort and the curriculum that evolved
