Martinson Department of Electrical Engineering Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431 E-mail: ravivd@fau.edu 561 297 2773Abstract This paper describes an experience of working on a research project at Florida AtlanticUniversity. It is unique in the sense that the working settings are different from an ordinaryresearch project, and the intellectual property agreement is different from a standard universityone. We have been working with a private investor and entrepreneur who came with the originalidea. He has been very involved in the project with some business, humanitarian andenvironmental goals in mind

in their efforts tobecome successful engineering students at Virginia Tech, and to provide them with the Page 11.708.3information necessary to become successful both academically and professionally. From anacademic viewpoint, the course is built around the theme that learning is both an individual and acollaborative process. The students must determine what works best for them while learninghow to utilize the skills and minds of others to assist them. It is explained to the students that thelearning skills taught in the course will not be beneficial to them unless they decide to implementthose skills in their daily routine. The professional

Because of low performanceon the Concept Assessment Tool for Statics (CATS) (around 29% compared to the results ofother institutions, which ranged from 30-70%), a Spanish version of CATS (CATS-S) wasdeveloped.

Initially, it is challenging for people to not separate themselves from their work.Students in engineering, psychology, and business may find this particularly uncomfortable. Attimes, students will take feedback on their work personally. However, with repetition andpractice, this occurs less. It is a valuable skill in any profession to be able to take criticism withan open mind and use it to better their skillset.To get the cross-disciplinary group experience started, the students are divided into groups andgiven a one day project.

Spatial skills, and in particular the ability to rotateimages in one’s mind, are especially important for technical fields such as engineering (Maier,1994)2. Studies have shown that spatial visualization skills are a factor in the success ofengineering students. Gimmestad (1989)3 found that students’ spatial visualization skills were astronger predictor of success in an engineering design course than math ACT scores orexperience in a high school shop or drafting class. Blasko et al. (2004)4 found that incomingspatial skills predicted 20 % of the total variance in course grades
