Teams function bestwhen they are cohesive and draw on each individual’s strengths, whereas teams in whichmembers feel excluded or silenced are less conducive to positive outcomes. We examineteam behavior in an extremely diverse undergraduate engineering design course. Inprevious iterations of the class we are studying, language-based exclusion and otherlanguage-based communication issues were the greatest sources of dysfunction onstudent teams.

To ensure the U.S.competitiveness in the 21st century innovation economy, there is a need to develop a scientificallyand technologically trained workforce [2-4], which necessitates the design and implementation ofnovel curricula, methodologies, and paradigms for STEM

IntroductionIn the past few years, the study of “design thinking”1-3 is drawing increasing attentions in theengineering design community. It dates back to Herbert Simon’s book “The Sciences ofArtificial”, when the notion of design was being viewed as a particular “way of thinking”4.Recently, “design thinking” is increasingly recognized to be an “exciting paradigm”5 to addressmany critical problems in many professions such as information technology6 and business7.
