Examples of questions included, “How frequently do you have disagreements withinyour work group about the task of the project you are working on?” and “How much emotionalconflict is there in your work group?” Next, three questions on “Team Satisfaction” wereanswered on a Likert scale (strongly agree, agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree, stronglydisagree).

Aerospace projects are complex andcostly, and teams tend to be large, averaging eight students per team. Teams are self-organizedand pick their own project managers after being assigned to a team. One instructor is responsiblefor grading the entire class (a typical class size is ~70 students), though other faculty may act astechnical advisors to individual teams.

Another problematicassumption made in the students’ economic proposal was that what works under consumercapitalism in the U.S., where a high percentage of the population has expendable income, wouldwork in the very different economic circumstances of Nicaragua. The project was ultimatelystalled at the proposal stage because of disagreement about this point.By the time they reach their senior capstone, engineering students have often had few- if any-courses that require them to consider empathic approaches to designing for a client orcommunity whose racial, ethnic, national, socioeconomic, or other demographic backgrounddiffers from their own. This experience gap is reflected when students don’t have the tools tounderstand the needs of

experientially, on timelines typically longer than available for capstone experiences.As a result, students often lack the time to test or iterate on their design. Because the capstoneexperience is at the end of the undergraduate education, students taking analysis based coursesdo not connect their coursework to design, the key engineering discipline. Additionally, at someuniversities, capstone projects are department specific and projects do not build on anunderstanding of the inter-relationship of different disciplines.In this paper the authors discuss their experience and lessons learned from creating a multi-yearintegrated system design (ISD) project.
