Which groups produce better products? • Do individuals of the same or differing personality types come together in the self- selected sections? • Are students more satisfied with one or the other type of group formation? • Which groups tend to work best together with the least amount of personal conflicts?This paper provides a qualitative assessment of the effectiveness of these two group formationmethodologies through the use of student grades, course performance, an assessment of thequality of team products and prototypes, surveys, interviews with students, and course-endstudent feedback.

uncertainty. The paperconcludes with a discussion of the implications of these results for instructional design.IntroductionHands-on design activities are increasingly common in engineering programs.1, 2 The increasedfocus on design is largely due to reviews of curricula and surveys of industry that identifiedshortcomings in engineering education, including insufficient opportunities for students todevelop creativity, to apply their technical and analytical knowledge, and to practicecommunication and teamwork skills.3,4 Design courses are intended to address theseshortcomings. According to a review conducted by Turns et al., engineering design courses arepredominantly project-based and involve students working on teams to solve problems. 5Common

A final rubric focuses on web site design, where students provide an overview oftheir project and the results obtained.Since the inclusion of rubrics in the 2002-2003 academic year, subsequent evaluations performedat annual Faculty Retreats have indicated that the rubrics have been a successful model forconducting the evaluation of the various aspects of the senior design experience. Additionally,by coalescing subjective faculty judgments into an objective numerical form through the use ofrubrics, the results can be readily used for program outcomes assessment. As a result

Unfortunately, even though the technologies are readilyavailable to construct tools to facilitate quick-response assessment, many educational institutions(including The Ohio State University community at large) still rely heavily on paper-and-pencilcourse evaluation surveys given at the end of the academic term to assess course or programeffectiveness.

Students are excited andfocused on the possibility of winning. The faculty is usually concerned with process andassessment in the context of a project and program not of their design.
