Success here is largely dependent on individual efforts.Teams with individual shortcomings can affect other disciplines as well as the overall success of the project.Spring 2020 and Summer 2020 MDID studios utilized a hybrid self-selection process for team formationthat look at student preferences that are balanced by various design and technical skills. This approach wasadopted from recommendations by the Lean Construction Institute (Seed, 2017). Strong teams with self-selected, motivated student clusters generated more successful and integrated outcomes. Objective 2

in the modeling portion of thefinal exam.IntroductionThe creation of solid models can be a mostly math-free introduction to the engineering designprocess. There are numerous acceptable ways to create a solid model, but all good models sharethe same characteristics — good solid models incorporate the design intent that was expressed inthe original layout drawing. Design intent is a method used in computer-aided design that definesrelationships between objects, so that a change to one propagates automatically to others [1].Incorporating design intent into a solid model results in a model that typically has the minimumnumber of dimensional values. This is accomplished by using a sufficient number of geometricalconstraints in fully constrained

This paper examines a path where management material is incorporated into thecore curriculum of an Industrial Engineering program and offered to other engineers as aprofessional elective to meet their degree requirements. For most students, the course is theirfirst exposure to the theoretical underpinnings of management and organizations. Since thesematerials are quite different than those of traditional engineering courses, students often either:1) View the material as ‘fluff’ that is not important to their ability to be an effective engineerand / or 2) Have a great deal of difficulty
