Previous research on teamwork has been groundedin global cultural dimensions [e.g. 28-30]. Based on this research, one can posit potentialscenarios. For example, the uncertainty avoidance characteristic of Hofstede may indicate thatMiddle Eastern students will be less comfortable engaging in an open-ended design project oroverly rely on objective

changethe market dynamics of CAD design through revitalization of the design curriculum. Thoughuniversities currently exhibit full design cycles across a variety of courses spread out in differentsemesters, it could be of major benefit for universities to integrate student extracurricular designteams as a part of the engineering curriculum. The ingrained collaboration required in designteams, as well as the cross-disciplinary interaction of students, academic mentors/advisors andindustry sponsors, is the most realistic analogue to the full end-to-end design cycle currentlypresent in an academic setting. In addition, since the competitive aspect of design competitionsto create superior designs push students to explore new/creative design avenues

experience working on collaborative teams, particularly with students of other disciplines.Educators might incorporate industry collaborative organizational structures, but while there aresome aspects of collaboration used in industry that faculty can incorporate, often those modelsare complicated by the need to achieve academic goals. The potential benefits ofinterdisciplinary teamwork include development of communication skills and the incorporationof and exploration of a multi-layered, more creative solution from different viewpoints, whichneed to be balanced with students’ acquiring and incorporating new material and carving time forassignments that demonstrate student outcomes for accreditation.

, the resultant information was organizedaccording to the researched population (Appendix): K-12 students and teachers, collegestudents (undergraduate and graduate), and non-formal students (communities andprofessionals).K-12: Students and teachers In total, six articles represent the research around the education of students enrolled inthe K-12 ranks, principally 5th grade and secondary school, to foster social justice. In the firstcase, I found that the researchers used design as a means for learning (problem-based learning),associating the concept of social justice with how the participants addressed or solved social 10problems.

an engineer’s degree program. Personas are detailed, archetypal users based onconsumer demographics and scripted with names, characteristics, backgrounds, habits, goals, andexperiences that aid in product development and production. Abbreviated personas contain onlyminimal information to assist engineering students in learning how to effectively applyemotional design in engineering and bypass the robust demographic/market research thataccompanies a persona. We explored their implementation process during a design capstoneinvolving a multi-disciplinary team. The capstone team was a diverse group of graduate students,including two in mechanical engineering, one in management, science and engineering, and onestudent in education. The team
