Abstract

Working effectively as a member of an interdisciplinary team is a skill highly valued by today's employers, but there are many challenges in providing this learning opportunity for students, including the equitable balance of responsibility among team members, an appropriate software environment and cost. A capstone course using Computer Graphics can surmount these challenges and provide valuable interdisciplinary team experience for students.
