Graduatestudent evaluators agreed that the TRAC-informed videos were of a higher quality in thecommunication and visual aid categories (p<0.05), which may reflect a generational gap in theexpectations of audio-visual content. Faculty evaluations also exhibit a wider spread than that ofthe graduate student evaluations.

This turned out to have a negative effect on the efficiency of communication and project progress. It should later turn out, that this assumption of having to stay formal was false and the visit of DTU students at PURDUE changed totally the students’ assumptions of cultural differences between the teams. As the project progressed, the cultural differences did seem to merge into a “universal culture”, with the aim of succeeding with the

This structural variability was reflected also by the thoughtvariance among our senior leadership. The consequence was friction, misinformation, andfrustration at many levels of the university.

In the makerspace environment, I don’t feel like I’m being pushed to do something. I’m working on this. I’m going to do it my way. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. This is going to be me. This is going to be my own work.It appeared that more time in the makerspace for these participants to create their own projectsfostered more autonomy and confidence. The makerspace also represented an environmentwhere there was some flexibility for trial and error. Although Winnie noted that female makers,including herself, felt self-imposed pressure to maintain perfection, she also acknowledged

Seven design teams, with four students in eachteam, created four-bar mechanism applications using this mechatronic process, first creating aMatLab Simulink virtual prototype of the complete system, and then building a workingprototype with LabVIEW and the NI myRIO.
