Habitat Design Challenge: Teaching Engineering Design in a Multidisciplinary Role-Play ScenarioAbstractWithin the ocean engineering program at the U.S. Naval Academy, formal design instruction isprovided in our introductory design course, EN461, a precursor to capstone design. A usefulinstructional module towards this purpose is the Hex-Oid Habitat Design Challenge that providesstudents with a multidisciplinary design-team experience involving multiple phases of the designprocess and an opportunity to refine technical communication skills both within and external tothe design team. Working in teams of 4-6, each team member is assigned a distinct role, e.g.,Architect, Buoyancy Engineer, Foundation Engineer, etc., and each is
