Topics discussed include teambuilding, conceptual thinking and problem definition, solution feasibility, composing technicalspecifications, design aids and research techniques, industry standards, prototype developmentand testing, and verbal and written communications. Each student is required to keep a designlog in a bound engineering logbook.

The aim is toreduce the number of students requiring a third attempt of a course, thereby decreasing time tograduation and increasing retention, as emerging research on the “murky middle” has shown thatattrition is driven by the number of failed courses rather than overall decline in GPA [1

In thefuture more faculty will be encouraged to participate, both to inform them of their own thinking (and thereforeteaching) style and to educate them about the diversity in thought processes between faculty and students. The authors intend to administer the HBDI to graduating seniors for the 1996 academic year tobenchmark the dominant thinking styles of the student body at UNC Charlotte with the current, more traditionalcurriculum. The contiuing study begun with students entering in the fall of 1995 will help assess the effects ofthe major curriculum changes currently being undertaken. Of particular interest will be the retention of studentswith strong thinking styles in C and D quadrants and the

Finally, there is a 20-minutewrap-up by a faculty to give students feedback on their work for the session and the relationship to thedesign project. Homework assignments are constructed to give students the opportunities to discuss andreflect on the results of laboratory investigations and their relevance to the design project. Mechanical forming is chosen as the theme for the design project because it addresses theeducational objectives outlined by the National Research Council (NRC) on educating mechanicalengineering undergraduates3.

These surveys showedthe student’s responses about how the class was run as well as the social and technical challengesof implementing the project. Students also were asked about their abilities to solve open-endedproblems and the educational benefits of international humanitarian projects.
