Abstract

A pilot multidisciplinary engineering senior design project incorporating innovation and entrepreneurship was undertaken at San José State University in the 2010-2011 academic year. The influence of personality domains described by the Big-Five (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness) on individual student performance, group experience, and attitudes towards multidisciplinarity, after the conclusion of the first semester of a two semester experience, are explored in this paper.
