The Gateway Mission to make engineering a hands-on, experiential learning experience will be expanded to foster the interaction of students within their universities in interdisciplinary teams as well as the interaction of these teams with others across the Coalition. The Multi-Year, Multi-University Project (MYMUP) will emphasize developing student and faculty potential, apply new educational technology, expand teams to include freshman and sophomore students with upper-class students, and involve industry and government partners in order to provide "real problems of real people" to students. The need to insure that the engineering design process be formalized in engineering education is vital to the Gateway Mission and MYMUP is a significant extension beyond the traditional.
