He noticed change in what would then becalled the developmental learning pathways of individuals based on grand scale societal changes.Thus, the societal impetus was responsible for changing lifelong learning habits and the minds ofindividuals.

Initially, it is challenging for people to not separate themselves from their work.Students in engineering, psychology, and business may find this particularly uncomfortable. Attimes, students will take feedback on their work personally. However, with repetition andpractice, this occurs less. It is a valuable skill in any profession to be able to take criticism withan open mind and use it to better their skillset.To get the cross-disciplinary group experience started, the students are divided into groups andgiven a one day project.

Spatial skills, and in particular the ability to rotateimages in one’s mind, are especially important for technical fields such as engineering (Maier,1994)2. Studies have shown that spatial visualization skills are a factor in the success ofengineering students. Gimmestad (1989)3 found that students’ spatial visualization skills were astronger predictor of success in an engineering design course than math ACT scores orexperience in a high school shop or drafting class.

Inengineering education, the pedagogical debate revolves around the sequencing of “learning” and“doing” engineering and is succinctly articulated in MIT‟s emblematic motto: mens et manus,mind and hands.iv Pedagogical models focus on the sequence of training minds and hands.Engineering education at MIT and UMass begins with the premise that one must learn (science)before one can do (engineering), “learn then do.” Smith and Olin, by contrast, begin with thepremise that it is best to “do and learn” (science and engineering) at the same time.v Althoughboth MIT and UMass have long
