, 2024 WIP: Exploring the Impact of Partner Assignment on Students’ Decision Making in Collaborative Design ProjectsIntroductionTeam formation strategies are an important element of engineering task design for authentic,collaborative projects. Many engineering educators employ software such as CATME [1] toregulate team formation. These programs, which typically focus on demographics and skill levelswith the goal of creating productive teams, tend to work at the individual project level and maynot necessarily account for students’ participation in a series of multiple projects. Indeed,engaging a classroom community in a series of projects presents the opportunity to strategicallypair students such that their connections with

strong supporter of capstone classes, often funding programs, providing projects,and acting as project customers or mentors [2]. The Accreditation Board for EngineeringTechnology (ABET) recognizes that capstone design is a critical aspect of engineering curriculaand requires all engineering programs to ‘culminate in a major engineering design experiencethat 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is basedon the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work’ [4]. Further, capstone designcourses often support the attainment of ABET student outcomes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7, preparingstudents to enter the professional practice of engineering [4].Challenges faced by students and faculty with increases in

Upon completion oftheir analysis, the students then compare their result with each method and with the knownNACA Handbook values.

engineering is continuously developing anddemands a workforce of engineers with the competency to perform across nations [2], [3]. For an engineer to achieveglobal competency, they must be able to work effectively with people who define problems and whose approach towardsfinding a solution to these problems are different than oneself [4]. Researchers have been challenged to define what makes aglobally competent engineer and what attributes an exemplary global engineer would encompass [2], [5]–[8]. In summary,a global engineer must demonstrate competency in technical, global, and professional aspects. Technical competency isachieved by demonstrating knowledge of the engineering science fundamentals, project management skills, and innovation [5].Global
