To design a more successful product, active inclusion of the end-user in the designprocess can help engineers from developed countries more fully understand the needs (bothspoken and unspoken) of users in developing countries. Leaders in low-cost product designadvocate this inclusion of the end-user as a means to more accurately identify and satisfy theneeds of people in these countries. 4-5 However, efforts by engineers to include the end-user, andultimately train them to lead future design efforts, often add an additional layer of complexitydue to differences in culture and in language among

In the 23-year history of year-long industry-sponsored capstone design team-projects at Seattle University, projects oftensuffered from the following shortcomings: failures to meet deadlines, poor contribution fromsome team-members, and incomplete use of available resources. Furthermore, advice from ourprogram’s industry advisors indicates that engineering graduates should have some projectmanagement skills and understand the importance and challenges of managing projects. Inresponse, we adopted MOPM to our senior design projects.The paper describes implementation of MOPM in our senior design

design teams and the electrical engineering teamsstruggled significantly with cross-team interaction. While it seemed opportune to force thegroups to interact and negotiate acceptable torque and speed parameters for their respectivecomponents, the level of understanding by both constituencies was not to a point where theycould effectively predict what was achievable based on either the project constraints or theiroverall designs. As such, the designs eventually evolved to the point where they occurredindependently. Through the initial communications, students from each discipline seemed togrow in awareness of the needs and limiting factors that affected the other domain; they simplydid not have the perspective or understanding to be able to

investigating thedifferences between experts and novices, researchers gain a deeper understanding of thedifferences in design thinking patterns between novices and expert designers (Kavakli & Gero,2002; Harlim & Belski, 2013).Among the engineering skills required, engineering design is fundamental for engineeringgraduates since engineering design is a major task in engineering practice. The use of designstrategies plays a significant role in engineering design, and a commonly used strategy isproblem decomposition/recomposition. It is frequently used by experienced engineers, especiallywhen dealing with complex engineering problems (Dym & Brown, 2012; Vincenti, 1990).Problem decomposition and problem recomposition is widely used in design
