Abstract Completing a Senior Design Project is a graduation requirement for all the students in the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) Department at the University of Cincinnati. The project consists of a four-course sequence resulting in a working product. This group of courses is designed to help students synthesize and apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired prior to their senior year. It also makes them use their abilities to solve open-ended problems and prepares them for the transition to a non-academic environment. The completed projects are assessed by a team of practicing engineers during the Technical Exposition Day (Tech Expo). This paper describes the process which all students must go through to complete their senior capstone design projects with design, build, and test requirements.

This paper describes exploratory research regarding leadership and communication within undergraduate engineering design teams. The case study was performed on student design projects of one and two semester duration to begin to assess the impact of project length on leadership and communication within the design teams. Data was collected using a survey that was given to the participants in three capstone design projects in Clemson University’s senior design course. The survey was administered within one month of course and project completion. While there were differences in the communication and leadership patterns between the teams, there were other possible influences beyond the project length such as team size and organization, organizational and geographic distribution, and the nature of the product. As a result, further research is proposed to study leadership and communication structures within undergraduate teams and multi-team systems (MTS).
