In addition, students are grouped into teams (the size of theteams can vary from two to six and depends on the topic and the equipment available) and aregiven an opportunity to perform their own experimentation as well. Some of this work is done inclass while some is given to the students as hands-on work to be done outside of class. Finally,the course has a final project (design of a simple direct-conversion receiver) that the studentsperform in teams of six outside of the normal class time.

Erie we are limited to three 50-minute class periods to teach concept generation.Given this limitation, a balance must be chosen between quantity of the methods taught, and thedetail in which students learn them.In spite of the wide array of ideation methods, undergraduate students often end upimplementing only the basic brainstorming method for their capstone projects. The senior designprojects in the Mechanical Engineering (ME) capstone program at Penn State Erie, the BehrendCollege vary widely from traditional mechanism design and construction projects where standardconcept generation techniques are appropriate, to design optimization problems with a strongfocus on mathematical modeling where concept generation relies heavily on the results

Sadan Kulturel-Konak Penn State BerksThe lack of effective teamwork has been identified among the most important factorscontributing to the high failure rate of complex engineering projects. Therefore, it isessential that engineering students excel in teamwork skills in addition to the technicalskills. In this study, we explore students’ self efficacy and interest towards teamworksince the research suggests that the sufficient level of self efficacy can encouragepersonal growth and skill development and interest is a construct that can predictstudents’ professional development in a domain.
