, 22 teachers from nineschools were introduced to the detailed 8-step design process through activities in water-treatment and assistive technology [4]. These 8-steps come from the MA curriculum frameworkand are “Identify the need or problem, Research the need or problem, Develop possiblesolutions, Select best solution(s), Construct a prototype, Test and Evaluate, Communicate thesolution, and Redesign,” as shown in Figure 1. Although the concept of the design process wassimilar, the content of the original TEMI workshop and the one for grade 3-5 teachers was quitedifferent.Overall the TEMI workshop is still an amalgamation of short activities, presentations, guestlectures by engineers, discussions and field trips. However it has been modified

can be seen that Task 2 will always pre-empt Task 1,at any given time. Thus at time t=0, t=3, t=6 (since Task 2’s period = 3), Task 2 is immediatelyscheduled. Consider the time t=6. At this moment, Task 1 has executed for 2 seconds andrequires just 1 additional second to complete execution before it’s deadline at t=8. Conversely,Task 2 has yet to execute (for the new instance) and its deadline is at t=9. It is important to notethat in this scenario, the DM scheduler will cause Task 1 to miss its deadline, while it wouldhave been possible for both tasks to complete before their deadline.

While thelatter can be fun and interesting, typically they will not lead to extensive student and facultyexchanges – the ultimate performance metric.Our experience was one which began with strong and consistent signals by institutional andunit leaders.

The class has several non-traditional students in their late 50’s and 60’s.These older students were more inclined to give as well as accept orders and direction. Theirstyle was more autocratic. The younger generation of students did not espouse this approach andresisted it. Their view was much more democratic and demanding an input on every decision.This generation gap was fascinating and accentuated the fact that project management is allabout people. The younger generation did not recognize this conflict for the generational clashthat it was, while the non-traditional
