This field often excites many of our students, and drives many of them topursue education at NMT for the availability of these classes. As a result, the course is able tosmoothly implement a project requiring students to design a space vehicle shield capable ofprotecting critical components behind it from simulated meteorites. Teams of 6-10 design ashield capable of withstanding shrapnel, approximately 0.375in and spherical in diameter,traveling at ~3000 ft/s. Like the other projects in this course the solution is open-ended yet hassome guiding parameters, namely the shrapnel characteristics. A limiting factor of size, weight,and cost are also used.

They further relate that positiveinterdependence is important to cooperative learning. In positive interdependence students mustrely on each other to succeed at the given task(s). 4Pucher et. al. describe two student motivations for learning.2 These include intrinsic andextrinsic motivations. Student intrinsic motivation means that the students are of their own willinterested in the material and problems while extrinsic means that the students receive outsidedriven rewards such as money, grades, etc. Thus student intrinsic motivation is the one of choice.For this reason PBL should use
Background2.1 Approach in Design CurriculumThe functional modeling method has been or is currently used in several design relatedcourses at the Missouri University of Science & Technology (Missouri S&T and formerlyknown as the University of Missouri-Rolla) such as IDE 20 Introduction to EngineeringDesign with Computer Applications, IDE 105 Design Representations, IDE 106 DesignPerceptions, IDE 220 Engineering Design Methodology, IDE 315 InterdisciplinaryDesign Project, IDE 420 Modern Product Design, IDE 427 Function-Based RiskAnalysis, and ME 161 Introduction to Design. Other universities also apply functionalmodeling techniques such as Penn State, Carnegie Melon University, University of Texasat Austin, Virginia Tech, and Bucknell University
ProcessIn order to develop an improved method of student team formation, various best practices werestudied. This is clearly a thorny issue that has been widely discussed in the literature in botheducational and industrial settings. Many methods are based in some way on assessing thestudent’s personality traits such as Myers Briggs indicators1 or The Big Five personality factors2.Papers specifically related to student team formation by Wesner3, Wilde4, and Adams5 report ona number of differing strategies that may be instructive for the interested reader.A source not widely reported on is research into team roles by R Meredith Belbin. His 1981book, Management Teams – Why they Succeed or Fail1, and a follow-up work, 1998’s TeamRoles at Work2, studied
VLSI Design however are only beingtaught for the last 20 years, with additions in MMIC system design and VHDL/Verilog basedsystem design. In VLSI, design constraints such as minimization of dissipated power,maximization of the speed, and optimization of device density onto the chip, are dealt with quiteextensively. In MMIC system design, the issues predominant at microwaves such as, s-parameters, distributed parameters pertinent to device, as well as packaging, are dealt with detail.For example, during low noise, or power amplifier at microwaves, characterization ofpseudomorphic high electron mobility (pHEMT) or metal semiconductor field effect transistor(MESFET), along with their doping profiles in layered-material-structure are explained

Additionally, as students prepare to graduate we willperform semi-structured interviews, to understand how they used the labs and any gainsthey showed in learning outcomes. This will be new for both ME as well as EE.ConclusionsFrom the efforts at Colorado School of Mines, a number of conclusions can be drawn: § Makerspaces can successfully be established through both student and faculty led efforts. § Implementing hands-on projects throughout the curriculum will increase the number of students who start using the space/s and continue to use the space/s. § Establishing safety throughout several different

for writing the paper, their activity was less frequent incomparison to teams 3 and 5. Team 1’s wiki history contributions revealed that only halfof the team members were writers of the paper for the most part. Their activitiesprimarily were content contributions and formatting. With only 17 percent of activityattributed to edits. In contrast, teams 3 and 5 had higher percentages attributed to edits,emphasizing more dialog between team members rather then individual contributions.Contributions history for teams 3 and 5 also showed that there were contributions fromeach of the team members, making their work experience more of a collaborativeprocess.The meaning of collaborative process for each of the team members is an importantconsideration

needed to solve a single problem while keeping in mind the manydiffering objectives of the overall project [1]. A multidisciplinary approach to engineering designis valuable in that it asks that students make certain that, “…advances in performance,…technology, or discipline(s), must be much more highly integrated than in the past” [2].
