other seminars are included in courses specific to particular majors. Anintroductory engineering technology course titled “Manufacturing, Materials, and Processes”has been modified to include a seminar and is effectively required for all students entering arange of majors.One of the goals for this particular seminar class is to acquaint the students with the courses intheir majors, and how the courses integrate with the goals of the major. A case study wasdeveloped based on a damaged lawn mower, and presented in the seminar. The problempresented in the case study was purposely incomplete, with a series of tasks listed which wouldbe necessary to resolve the damage to the lawnmower.

allows the generation of unique and high quality, out-of-the-box multiple solutions in a short period of time. The methodology can be easily taught,learned, and used, and may be practiced by individuals as well as teams.The new course uses hands-on problem-based learning and emphasizes expanding creativity andthinking skills of students. The activities include 3-D mechanical puzzles, games, mind teasers,LEGO® Mindstorms competitions, and design projects. These activities allow for self-paced,semi-guided exploration. They lead to out-of-the-box inventive thinking, imagination, intuition,common sense, and teamwork. The course and the use of the Eight-dimensional methodologyhave been recently evaluated with encouraging results. Proceedings of
