This paper discusses an experiment to determine whether team-building activities could influence the outcome of student group projects in a senior mechanical engineering machine design class. This educational experiment was an offshoot of a 3-year ongoing investigation of factors that influence the costs of new product development. The results from this preliminary investigation show that the student groups that had 45 minutes of team-building exercises turned in higher quality design projects.
