An X-team is comprised of process as well as content experts and uses pedagogicalapproaches that promote design thinking by faculty and students, systems thinking, leadership,socio-technical mindsets, and inclusion.

Giventhe potential for strong impact on engineering students’ experiences, and faculty resourcelimitations, we sought to elucidate if some behaviors have a higher potential for impact thanothers, and if so, which faculty behaviors may best contribute to building faculty-student rapport.With these insights, engineering faculty can be trained to selectively focus on those which areexpected to have the greatest return on investment. To support the primary aim, students frommultiple disciplines in an engineering college were surveyed and asked to rank their perceptionsof faculty behaviors that best establish rapport with
technical aspects of an engineering career and foster a broadersense of life-long learning.Other important aspects of professional practice that support design include budgeting, teaming,diversity & inclusion, ethics, and project impacts. These are described below.Budgeting Money is a key aspect of a design. Funding for capstone projects is an area of significantvariation among capstone courses nationally [7].

students towards Additive Manufacturing technologies for improving their interest inScience, Technology, and Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The instructional set upinvolved using of Solid Works® software by high school students to develop computer aideddesign models which were then visualized and printed using 3D Printers. Design of Experiments(DOE) based statistical techniques were then used to identify the best-built conditions for theparts developed by the students. The approach for creating an effective learning environment forhigh school students in a university setting along with the course structure used and projectfindings are presented in this paper. It is found that the students involved showed a basic level ofunderstanding
learning, inquiry-based laboratory instruction, and any ini- tiative that empowers students to do hands-on learning. Additional service interests include teaching and leadership training for graduate students, enhancing communication education for undergraduate en- gineering students, developing evidence-based design project team formation strategies, and improving engineering design curricula.Dr. Molly H Goldstein, University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign Molly H.
