. Page 12.419.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 Creative Problem Solving in Capstone DesignAbstractThis paper describes the 2006/07 capstone design course at Michigan Technological University,which had 121 students assigned to 24 project teams. The teams were formed based on theHerrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) results, sponsor requirements, student GPA andspecial qualifications. During the first semester, the emphasis of the course was on creativeproblem solving, team building, and learning the 12-step design process with the associateddocumentation and thinking skills. During the second semester, the emphasis shifted to designfor X. Other topics covered were prototyping, optimization and quality

The capstone course sequence features a large, multi-year project that may nothave 3D modeling components of similar complexity for all students. The project ensures thatall students are assessed using a similar project. The geometric model is designed to support thecreation of a physical prototype that may be used for airflow development models. Models areprinted using filament deposition printing techniques. The solid model also supports the use ofvirtual airflow analysis using computational fluid dynamics

This is done with the use of a personaldesign project in which all design decisions are left to the student. This encourages a higherlevel of involvement and brings to the forefront the need to be accurate in the use of properdimensioning.
