diverse in their approaches toproblem solving which obviously can cause conflict. When working on a specific problem(Problem A), the management will most likely be faced with an additional problem (Problem B)which deals with how to effectively manage the diversity among the problem solvers11. In orderto be productive, a team must spend more time working on problem A and less on problem B.One way for management to accomplish more of a focus on problem A, the real engineeringproblem to be solved, is to understand not only how to manage knowledge diversity but also tounderstand the process of group cognition.Knowledge diversity can be managed by offering training and promoting continuous learning inan organization. Another way to manage knowledge
content reviews by professionals in the field were alsoconducted.Several instruments have been implemented to assess the effectiveness of the case method. Thesecan be summarized as follows: a. Pre and post student surveys: The pre-survey is done after the student briefly read the case and without looking at the case write-up. The post-survey is done after the student finished solving the case without looking at the case write-up as well. b. Pre and post faculty surveys: Those are done before and after teaching the case. c. Interviews with both faculty and students. d. Transfer Task questions: These questions were designed to measure the student’s retained knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge in a different

We assigned values of1= No, 2= Maybe, and 3= Yes to the survey question answers and analyzed the average scoresfor each question between the two groups (A/B in pre-requisite course vs. C or below in pre-requisite course). A t-test was used to test for statistical significance. The results (Figure 5)showed that students who came into the class with a C or below felt that the tiered mentoringproject gave them more expertise (p = .02) and more confidence (p = .01) in the topics theyworked on, compared to students who came into the class with As or Bs.

the fatigue experiments are destructive since weneed to apply cyclic loading until the failure of the structure. Also, fatigue experiments may takea long time since, in some cases, we need to apply a very large number of cycles in order tocause a fracture in the specimen. Both of these issues (i.e., cost and time) are not an issue in VLssince a) it is free for students to run as many experiments as they desire and b) theaforementioned “fast-forwarding” button allows students to conduct all experiments within amatter of seconds. Thus, in the case of the fatigue lab, we can easily plot the S-N curve based onthe VL results, whereas doing so based on the hands-on experiments alone is difficult.6.

In the allowable stress experiment,students used a simple double lap connection (provided in the lab kits and shown in Figure 1)made of balsa wood to measure allowable shear stress. Students added an adhesive (such asdouble sided tape) to the Part B illustrated in Figure 1, and then suspended increasing weight toget to failure. In this lab, as well as many other labs, students were required to fashion a hangersystem and determine a means to accurately determine
