they initially did not want to work with theproduct design students but then changed their mind through the process.The biomedical engineering students were asked, “if given the choice to keep working with theproduct design student from your group next semester, would you do it?” In response, 85% ofthe biomedical engineering students said yes, they would choose to continue working with theproduct design student if given the option next semester. 12% said no, and 3% were unsure. Ofthe individuals who said no, all were members of the two groups with the product designstudents who received the lowest grades in their product design course, suggesting that these twoproduct design students may have been weaker contributors to the collaboration

way.” They were then presented with the knowledge of how a linear electromagnetic pulse, orwave traversing parallel to the axis can also produce rotational motion, but they scoffed at theidea, they said it is simply impossible, not very realistic, and instantly dismissed thatpreposterous idea out of their minds. Just imagine the thought! A Spiral Helix Motor usessimple fundamental physics to do exactly that, it achieves rotation by using a linearelectromagnetic pulse traversing parallel to the axis while interacting with a spiral helixmagnetic array construct on the driveshaft. It is revolutionary concept for electrical engineering,but it uses simple, pure, fundamental physics that is easy to understand. All that is different, isthat the

Many instructors chose to have their TAs grade the reflections, which became difficultfor those TAs who were unable to attend class themselves:"I think one think that would have helped was to be involved in that maybe to just have a feel ofwhat their class is like, because while I was giving feedback, I'm giving feedback as a, what willI call it, third party - I don't know anything about the course. So, I'm only able to use myknowledge of engineering to kind of figure out what's going on...So probably being in one or twoclasses that they will reflect upon would have helped to guide them appropriately."
