Yet, partly due to the grassroots development of many of theseprograms and to their rapid rise, there are scant findings on the impacts of these programs onengineering education.

Industry has perceivednew BS engineering graduates as lacking design capability or creativity, as well as anappreciation for considering alternatives. Further, a 1995 ASME report ranked creative thinkingas 5th of 56 top desired “best practices” for new BS-level engineers as seen by industry andacademe.12 In the past several years, universities have responded to these challenges by addingmore design content and introducing more open-ended design problems into their engineeringcurricula. Articles discussing the guarded success of these initiatives have appeared in journals.Yet the need to increase the creative potential of graduates still persists. 13 In fact

We postulatethat individuals are more engaged in groups that form randomly in a loosely coordinatedenvironment that is both self-organizing and self-managing.The research questions guiding our inquiry are: 1. What instructor strategies help to create an interdisciplinary environment that facilitates quick formation of cohesive teams? 2. How do self-organized and self-managed teaming impact individuals’ engagement in teaming and design?The results of this research describe pedagogical approaches that can be used to help expediteand facilitate team formation and improve collaborative practices

As Lopez-Mesaand Thompson note, for example20: “The problem-solving approach taken by a strong Innovatoris quite different to that taken by a strong Adaptor.

Edmondson9 also describes a threaded approach to building teamskills across the curriculum.In a previous paper10 we described our approach that involves threading teaming elements in asequence of core design courses starting in Freshman Year. For practical reasons we did not tryto adhere closely to a particular model of teaming from a research perspective but have beenguided by Tuckman's11 model of team development (forming, norming, storming, performing,adjourning). In that sense it allows students to deal with issues of general acquaintance and taskfamiliarization during the first semester. It then builds a more formal instructional componentand peer assessment in the second semester. This is reinforced in the next course and
