It begins with two-persondesign teams that design, build and test weekly projects involving LEGO® parts, sensors, and theRobotic Command eXplorer (RCX). The course progresses in the semester to finally encompasslarger design teams of fourteen students, with each team designing a complex, autonomous, robotic-styled system. This revision was to enable a more flexible mix of engineering student majors(Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental), as some departments had different enrollmentsfor each semester.

The project,which was the basis for an Introduction to Engineering course, was divided into several taskswhich were assigned to small student teams. Team responsibilities included laboratory testing ofmix designs, raw material handling and processing, applicator prototype design and construction,educational community outreach, and others.

Based on the responses from these questions, each pair ofstudents are matched with another pair of students with complementary skills. Another uniquecharacteristic of this course involves students having the ability to change teams after the firstdesign project. Students may desire to change teams if they feel that the rest of their team isunderperforming, or if they feel that the other students on their team are overly demanding.These practices are informed by the above studies to encourage students to develop moredependent learning styles.A self-reporting measure of team performance was given to first-year engineering students toexamine
