that teams affected with either situation were provided appropriate accommodations.o Prototyping v/s mass production: It was observed that students struggled with differentiating between a manufacturing plan for a functional prototype versus a manufacturing plan for mass production. This might have been because students’ knowledge of manufacturing processes grows during their time in ManP and they may be developing manufacturing plans without a full understanding of manufacturing.6. Conclusions and RecommendationsThis paper presented the design of a two-semester design-and-build interdisciplinary project. Theproject was conducted as part of a two-course sequence in an engineering curriculum. Thesecond course in the sequence has a lab

Our goal is todiscover potential problems within our environment while minimizing the amount of requiredtest cases generated. Another direction for research is in search-based testing, or usingevolutionary computation-based techniques for generating test cases. Last, we intend to continuedeveloping the game itself for use in outreach activities and further research endeavors.AcknowledgementsFinancial support for this project was provided by RISE (www.gvsu.edu/rise), which is fundedby a National Science Foundation S-STEM award

on groupprojects for which they are graded. Based on this small sampling, it appears students areexpected to know and use teamwork skills without much formal or sustained instruction.Textbooks: A quick survey of technical writing textbooks suggests that Technical Writinginstructors cover teamwork as a separate skill, taught in a class session or two and sometimessupported by a group project. Experience also suggests that few Engineering instructors devotesignificant time to discussion of teamwork. In 1997, Burnett’s Technical Communication, 4thed.’s chapter on teamwork provided helpful checklists but a single collaborative activity andassignments that were stand-alone vs integrated into course activities.
