, 2024 WIP: Exploring the Impact of Partner Assignment on Students’ Decision Making in Collaborative Design ProjectsIntroductionTeam formation strategies are an important element of engineering task design for authentic,collaborative projects. Many engineering educators employ software such as CATME [1] toregulate team formation. These programs, which typically focus on demographics and skill levelswith the goal of creating productive teams, tend to work at the individual project level and maynot necessarily account for students’ participation in a series of multiple projects. Indeed,engaging a classroom community in a series of projects presents the opportunity to strategicallypair students such that their connections with

In mechanical engineering this project is designed to integrate the concepts from thesecourses towards the production of a working mechanical system. Unaccustomed to makingconnections between this course material and hands on design, students often have difficultyseeing how this type of book knowledge is relevant towards the solution of an authentic designproblem. This issue can best be expressed through the differences in expectations among thestudents and their faculty advisor, and when compared, highlight some of the discrepanciesbetween the two
