booksinvolving engineering design stress teams.2, 3, 4, 5 However, team developmentseems to be limited to teaching how team members interact as they proceed with atask. Typical are discussions on forming, storming, norming, performing andadjourning. Design tools such as Gantt and linear responsibility charts areemphasized and creative methods such as brainstorming and mind mapping areencouraged. When communication is covered in involves presentation techniques,report preparation, and feedback methods between the team and the client. But,these have nothing to do with how team members communicate betweenthemselves.The recent literature has some examples of team member performance evaluationused as a communications tool and communication methods between

AC 2009-1917: PREPARING STUDENTS FOR SENIOR DESIGN WITH A RAPIDDESIGN CHALLENGEJoe Tranquillo, Bucknell UniversityDaniel Cavanagh, Bucknell University Page 14.978.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Preparing Students for Senior Design with a Rapid Design ChallengeIntroduction and MotivationDesign is arguably the most important class in an undergraduate engineering curriculum. It can,however, be one of the most challenging classes to teach as it ventures far off the traditionallecture and lab format that students are accustomed to. As engineering educators, we thereforewant to optimize the process such that our students get the most out of the experience

Appendix. Currently available solutions can becategorized using these dimensions and new ideas can be developed by applying theprinciple of the dimension to the problem at hand. Not every problem has a solution inevery dimension (or at least not one that is readily determined), and some dimensionsmay have more than one solution. Due to the somewhat different nature of purelybiological problems and solutions to those typical of engineering-type problems, somedimensions do not apply or require further sub-sections for clear classifications. Thisprocess of using the 8D methodology is a way to quickly find a great number of solutionswhile allowing “open-minded” thinking
