Engineering Design and Graphics 100is a three-credit course which introduces students to Computer Aided Design (CAD) skills,engineering design, decision making, and teamwork. This class incorporates mini-projects, teampresentations, lectures, exercises, and case studies. As a final design challenge, students designeda soda can lifter using dc motors, a gear box, and two AAA batteries [1]. Student responses to aquestionnaire show that most of the students enjoyed working on mini-projects and the finaldesign challenge. Suggestions for future offerings of the course include modifications totechnical specifications and providing students with a more rugged

Despite success in precalculus in high school, many students acrossthe country are not successful in the college level precalculus course. Even if the students aresuccessful in precalculus (e.g., receiving a B or above), many do not go on to take calculus or failto be successful in calculus [1, 2]. Single variable calculus is a major gatekeeper for studentswho want to pursue degrees in STEM [3].

differences lead to inequitable practices within teams such as unfair distributionsof the workload or type of work, often in problematic ways. For example, active and dominantstudents might advocate for themselves to take on the more challenging and interesting parts of aproject, leaving the more mundane and menial work to their passive teammates. Mix-genderedteams in engineering education have been found to have unbalanced work distribution: womenmay do more work related to planning or communication, while men may do more technicalwork [1]. Such disproportionate allocation of work and assumption of roles lead to studentsobtaining unequal gains from team projects, for which the more active student might have hadthe more enjoyable and useful

Deployment (QFD) emerged in Japan in the 1970’s with the objective ofinstilling quality in product development. QFD is built on the foundation of the “voice of thecustomer” and is intended to be applied from early stage design through production [1], [2]. Itgained acceptance in Japan and in the United States and remains a popular component of thedesign process [3], [4]. QFD techniques are often implemented by multi-functional teams thatdefine the customers’ requirements early in the design process and translates them intoengineering specifications [5]–[7]. It is then intended to be used to analyze components andmanufacturing processes, and serve as a tool for later quality assurance efforts [6].QFD is often incorporated in undergraduate engineering
