IDEO team working together on aconceptual design of an innovative shopping cart is used in class to show that this innovativecompany: a) uses teams of people with diverse backgrounds, including many non-engineers; b)awards failures (to encourage risk taking); c) values ideas over status or title; and d) discouragesnegative idea-stopping comments (since crazy ideas often spur innovate yet feasible approaches). Next to diversity, time pressures have proven to be the next biggest challenge to development oftrue teamwork and team skills. The fact that teams exist to accomplish a task or a projectprovides a constant temptation to be project-centered rather than team-centered. It is obviouslynecessary that most team time and resources are directed

While simulations are good for quicker testing and a cheaper solution thanpurchasing equipment, conducting experiments with real robots allows for more accurate results.In physical experiments, there are many factors, such as robot interference, an unknownenvironment, and delayed communications, which can influence results. However, running realexperiments are required to accurately test the efficiency of an approach. Future work includesexamining these factors further.Bibliography[1] S. Dawson, B. L. Wellman, and M.

In a junior fluid mechanics course, students will characterize the rheology of the blood ana-logue (see blood module), measure the pressure drop across the oxygenator and compare it to the pre-dicted for a shear-thinning fluid.

Thesescoring aides allowed the research team to have only two research participants score each of thesubsequent transcripts. By reducing the number of participants, scoring time was reduced toapproximately 2 hours per transcript (2x45 minutes of scoring by individual raters + 30 minutesof sharing scores and forming consensus).
