methods.Modeled after industry practices, this course sequence includes design sprints, projectmanagement, risk assessments and mitigation, formal design reviews by the course instructors,and presentations to industry professionals. Each cross-functional team includes a mix ofelectrical, computer, and mechanical engineers. All teams consist of students of differentethnicities, genders, and ages. Teams are formed with diversity in mind, but also based on eachstudent’s expressed project-type interest. The instructors then lead the students through problemidentification, project ideation, and development into an appropriately scaled design that is bothchallenging and doable.Much of the course is focused on team building and processes, conflict management

With this in mind, participants whohave been leaders in these groups suggested expanding the scope of the workshops to more thanjust once at the beginning of the term. They would like to have continuous training in this areaand also would like to include all members of their teams.
