mustpractice divergent thinking to explore the entire design space, which is an immensely importantskill for developing creative and effective solutions. Learning design via a team-based designproject promotes cognitive skills, social skills, management skills, and positive personal traits.Design and development of an open ended design project is discussed. The team-based projectprogresses over approximately ten weeks in an elementary strength of materials course. Thisprovides a significant design experience for engineering students that helps bridge the gapbetween the first-year engineering design course and the capstone design project that engineeringstudents typically do in their senior year. The project requires student teams to: work together

Through these and othersimilar works, it has been found that the Rube Goldberg design project can trigger creativethinking processes as well as reinforce the students’ motivation for pursuing an engineeringdegree. 5,6 . This could therefore lead to increased retention in engineering programs by utilizingsuch a design project early in the students’ curriculum. The use of a project in which studentteams must work together to produce a completed machine has been shown to enhancecommunications, teamwork, time-management, and experimentation 7 .MethodsThe use of a Rube Goldberg based design project was

AbstractThis study presents a teaching methodology developed through a 3-year-long iterative-study inorder to incorporate hands-on experiences in engineering courses and expose sophomorestudents to engineering design. Sophomore engineering technology students enrolled in a 200-level Computer Aided Design course participated in this study. An innovative Project-Based-Learning (PBL) approach with an embedded Agile Project Management (APM) is implementedto promote skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and self-management.

While students are working in groups, it is less clear thatthey are receiving intentional instruction or scaffolding for successful teamwork.
