Eventhough the team members are non-paid volunteers, their effort is recognized and indirectly compensatedby course grades and credits via, e.g. senior design projects. At the kick off meeting in September 2007,two student team leaders were elected from the remaining members of the previous year’s DARPA GrandChallenge team. The student team leaders’ responsibilities include: organizing team meetings,communication, and integration of technical efforts. A panel of faculty advisors from electrical andcomputer engineering as well as mechanical engineering was assembled along with an industry advisor,thereby providing technical leadership in areas of automation/control, guidance

the best of competinginvestment alternatives. This paper describes a game, integrated into an engineering economicscourse as a semester-long project, which simulates this practical economic decision-making.Students started the semester with $10,000 and “ran their company” throughout the semester,applying principles learned in class to a series of possible investments presented by theinstructor. The game thus filled the role of the traditional homework problems, but had someadditional goals and benefits: It created a framework for active learning of the material. Students had to not only learn various economic analysis techniques but also decide for themselves which ones were most applicable to the case at hand. It created a

Gardner and Korth (1998) and Scarafiotti and Klein (1994) found that eventhough the results were not statically significant, students’ attitudes changed positively after theirparticipation in teams14,24. By contrast, Porter (1993), McCorkle et al. (1999) and Buckmaster(1994) found that students were frustrated by their experiences with teamwork20, 21, 25. Althoughstudents recognized that the experience improved their interpersonal skills, they still preferred towork individually. It seems that teamwork is more than just putting individuals together to work. Thepresence in the group of
