Understanding Individual Personality Types and Their Effect on Team Dynamics in a Senior Design Project Course P.B. Ravikumar Professor, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering University of Wisconsin, Platteville, WIAbstractProspective employers expect graduating engineers to be knowledgeable in bothscientific/technical and engineering management aspects. It is often a challenge to includeengineering management content in a tightly packed engineering curriculum. The challengemust be met by carefully selecting key engineering management topics and implementing themacross the curriculum. The Senior Design Project course in

Most of them assumed it involved advanced circuit analysis and electronics architecture that they were not familiar with. About 36% of EE students did not think the course was relevant, with some of them linking reliability to failure of mechanical

commonlearning styles. Another top theme at the beginning was Motivation. Many students discussedwhat they liked about certain classes in high school and how that motivated them to excel andcontinue their education through an engineering degree. There was a shift in top theme from thebeginning to the end of the semester from Learning to Time Management-Balance as shown inTable 4. By December, students have experienced a full college workload and can reflect on howwell they handled it. Additionally, a top theme for the final reflection was Study. As finals areapproaching, studying is at the front of students’ minds and they commonly mentioned how theyimproved or changed their habits throughout the course of the semester.Table 3: Most Popular Themes for

This paper describes some research work that was conducted by undergraduatemechanical engineering students at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez during the past threeyears. The general research topics were heat transfer in open-cell aluminum foam andmicroprocessor control. The students’ attitude, professionalism, independence, work habits, andintelligence ranged from average to outstanding. The upper-echelon students produced highenough quality work for presentation in engineering conferences and, with some extra input fromthe faculty, in engineering journals. The students were listed as co-authors in all publications.Three of the best students gave presentations of the results in four

different backgrounds. INTERCULTURAL SENSITIVITYWhen designing and implementing engineering programs, it is important to keep the following questions continuallyin mind: Where are the students at in their cultural understanding? and Where do we want them to be? MiltonBennett divides the six stages of intercultural sensitivity into two categories: ethnocentricism and ethnorelativism[10]. He describes the term ethnocentricism as the experience of one’s own culture being central to reality, “the waythings are.” The three stages within this category are Denial, Defense, and Minimization of difference.Ethnorelativism is then “the experience of one’s own culture as just one organization of reality among many

lead students to effective behavioralchanges, ones that support intentional self-development.In this research, we have focused on creating cognitive dissonance between students’ statedvalues and subsequent behaviors across sustainability contexts. Using a variety of settings, tools,and methodologies, we have focused primarily on individual sustainability (emotional, social,physical, philosophical, and intellectual) and the self-knowledge that informs professional self-minded engineers, enhances decision making and problem solving in engineering and thesciences, cultivates mindfulness as an approach to sustainable living, and promotesunderstanding of the self as a sustainable system.This paper is based on work completed under an NSF Engineering

One finding, which is about how experts and novices learn and transfer knowledge to newcontexts, suggests that, to develop competence, students must develop deep contentunderstanding and need to learn to organize their facts and ideas

ACE proposes that the hallmarks of every universitystudent’s education are to build on knowledge already acquired, to develop skills andunderstanding that can be transferred from one academic discipline to another and fromthe classroom to life experience. The second model offers team-based projects tostudents across the University which are integrated with traditional programs of study.The IPRO Program is distinctive in that it builds broad participation by students andfaculty in projects that integrate professional programs (engineering, science, business,design, law, psychology and architecture) with graduate and undergraduate teammembers from all educational levels, and faculty advisers who contribute

Thiscourse, a third-year Engineering Materials Science course taught by the second author, is arequired course for Integrated Engineering and an elective for Mechanical and Industrial andSystems Engineering students. This course was designed to introduce engineering students to thefundamentals of materials science engineering. Modules were accompanied by homework andexam questions to reinforce the relevance of these topics to the overall class. Incorporating socialcontent into engineering courses requires an intentional, sustained, and consistent approach thatbears in mind student’s limited time, conflicting priorities, and level of maturity.Of the four modules, two have

Students will develop problem statements and design criteria/requirements by evaluating a project scenario using design techniques (such as mind mapping or functional decomposition). 2. As a part of a design team, students will use the engineering design process to design, create, and evaluate a prototype that addresses realistic design constraints and requirements. 3. Students will self-assess, select, pursue, and demonstrate competency with a variety of tools, methods, and software as determined by their program. 4. Students will analyze

This study used bothquantitative and qualitative methods to understand both sides - the instructor’s expectations ofstudents and the students’ perceptions of the instructor’s expectations -in an open-ended, student-centered classroom. Four students and the instructor were interviewed throughout an upper-division undergraduate mechanical engineering course. This paper describes the research methodsand preliminary results from this study. With the increasing integration of project-centeredpractices in the engineering classroom, the results of this study are anticipated to be beneficial toother instructors who are trying to transition students from
