Engineering Design required significantlymore software to be used. For understanding project management, GanntProject was used. For variousdesign stages, Dia was used for mind-mapping as well as developing function-mean trees. Finally, forthe student projects, AutoDesk Inventor was recommended to develop their models while Cura wasused to 3D print their design.

Project Awareness in First Year Introduction to Engineering CoursesAbstractSubsequent to their selection of a particular major, First Year engineering students often identifythemselves as their selected major (“I’m an Electrical Engineer”) with the preconception thatthere will be no interaction with engineers from other disciplines (or other professional entities)when they practice engineering in their educational and professional careers. In an effort tobroaden the students’ perception and understanding of the existence of multidisciplinaryinteraction on design projects, engineering programs at four U.S. Universities included coursematerials in their Introduction to Engineering classes to address this topic in the first year

Team composition is commonly studied asan important group-level factor. It can vary by individual factors such as gender, race, education,and functional background, in addition to measures of ability and personality. Some studies [3]-[4] found that diversity personality in a team does not always increase a team’s performance, andas a result, diversity has to be managed carefully when selecting team members for a project.
