-focused design is necessary for developing entrepreneurial tendencies withinthe minds of engineering students. The challenge, then, is understanding how to effectively instill a customer focus in engineeringstudents, a task that requires knowledge of how engineers learn. As it stands, engineering studentsin our colleges today do not relate well to traditional engineering pedagogy, such as the directtransmission model, which has remained the norm for the past few centuries (Freeman et al., 2014).The current generation of students is looking for a curriculum and educational approach that usesadvanced classroom technology and active learning to engage them in the learning process (­Freemanet al., 2014, Mina and Gerdes, 2006). A novel approach that

Advances in Engineering Education FALL 2017Survey Tools for Faculty to Quickly Assess MultidisciplinaryTeam Dynamics in Capstone CoursesRYAN SOLNOSKYThe Pennsylvania State UniversityUniversity Park, PAANDJOSHUA FAIRCHILDCreighton UniversityOmaha, NE ABSTRACT Many engineering faculty have limited skills and/or assessment tools to evaluate team dynamics inmultidisciplinary team-based capstone courses. Rapidly deployable tools are needed here to provideproactive feedback to teams to facilitate deeper learning. Two surveys were developed based on indus-trial and organizational psychology theories around desired high performance industry
