have equal value overall, we realize that adiversity of styles within an engineering team is desirable – but this diversity must be understoodand managed well, or it may create conflicts (Problem Bs) that distract the team from its main,original aim (Problem A).With all of these factors and issues in mind, we have begun to explore the cognitive diversity ofour students from a problem solving perspective. For example: there is a common misperception(found most often in the creativity literature) that portrays engineers as “highly structured,Adaptor-inclined”. Based on personal experience (both in and out of the classroom), we believethis to be a false image of engineers and decided to test its accuracy. In addition, we wanted toexplore the

The ExcEEd (Excellence in Engineering Education) Teaching Workshop sponsoredby the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) provides the content and structure forpresenting the pedagogical basics that every teacher should know.

is why software simulations are so important notonly for the simulator but for engineering in general. Finding concrete evidence of a successfuldesign saves lives and saves money. Pinpointing weak points and fixing the issues before thefabrication of the final product are very important. For the simulator, our group started with apartially completed simulator which is why any changes to the design were so difficult. Thisforced our group to think outside the box and put all our minds and engineering skills to the test. Student #5: Although, not exactly the way full size flight motion simulators are made, ourprototype provides a very good educational base.

The tutor is an interactive multimedia software tutor thatprovides the user with part design rules and methodologies specifically with the manufacturingprocess of injection molding in mind. The IMT was tested during the course of its developmenton freshmen at both UMass Amherst and UConn.
