These includeestablishing a clear vision or goal for the team. In some cases, the project goals caninclude team development goals as well as technical goals, depending on the desires ofthe students and the faculty advisor. The students were also encouraged to establish anagreed upon set of guidelines for internal interactions: including meeting schedule, teamorganization, rules of conduct, and consequences for poor individual performance.Finally, several aids that can

expectations to the students. One unique feature of an upper division interdisciplinary course with multiple interdisciplinary faculty is that students will be exposed, perhaps for the first time, to conflicting opinions on technical topics amongst the faculty teaching the course. While faculty may view this as a healthy interchange of ideas; for students, the conflicting faculty opinions can be confusing and discouraging. Faculty need to prepare students to deal with the conflicts by frequently reminding students to expect differing opinions, explaining each faculty member’s logic behind the opinion and mentoring students in resolving the conflicting information in relation to their project.

Studentsare divided among the three fellows where they meet individually and in small group sessions toreceive greater hands-on advising and overall mentoring. The goal of this program is to increaseacademic preparedness and performance, improve research exposure and/or participation, and toprovide overall better student engagement and retention. As a result of this initiative, facultyfellows have arranged for students to attend technical conferences, participate in industry tours,and have increased one-on-one sessions with engineering faculty/mentors.

Prof Kelley is using a programmatic framework that harkens back toAsimow’s guidance that effective design “requires a synthesis of technical, human, and economicfactors.”4 IDEO integrates these concepts into what it calls the Innovation Engine concerned withTechnical (feasibility), Human (usability), and Business (viability) Factors.
