, Be familiar with relevant background and technical knowledge that lead to successful design.The starting point of any design project, irrespective of the object or nature of the project, is theproblem definition phase characterized by: asking relevant questions and attempting to findplausible/realistic answers. No sooner has a client or professor defined a series of objectives for adesign project than the designer- whether in a consulting office or in a classroom- want to findout what the customer really wants. Questions such as: what is an economic project? How doyou define the best design? What is a safe design? What are the factor(s) that will affect thedesign the most? Phrasing it differently, knowledge resides in the questions

with theirinternational team-members [9].Recently, a study abroad framework has been proposed in which faculty develop “proactivelearning interventions” wherein students are intentionally challenged and supported in engagingin, and reflecting on, cross-cultural experiences [10] (originally from Berg [11]). Demetry et al.[10] provide one example of such a framework, or “paradigm change,” that shifts thepedagogical approach from one of lassez-faire to one that provides intentional interventions“intended to foster intercultural learning among engineering and science undergraduates.”Demetry et al.’s [10] approach focused on developing two different types of project teams –mixed teams comprised of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) students and

Figure 3: Installation of fatigue test specimen in servohydraulic testing machineResults for fatigue life in general strongly depend on the load levels experienced. Given the timelimitations, a single load range is used for all test samples. (In a materials rather than astructures lab, variations in fatigue life due to different stress amplitudes can be explored in thecontext of a rotating beam test to generate a S-N curve.) The peak amplitude of stress was set toprovide an estimated run time of about 30 minutes for the specimens with a circular hole.
