, including grades in pastclasses or overall GPA. Predictive performance can be used to create teams with students ofsimilar GPAs or scores from prior semesters. Teams are formed by ranking students based onacademic performance and the grouping the top students in the first team, then the next groupingin the second team, and so on[3]. Teams can also be formed randomly, with student teams beingbuilt off random selection from the student list for the course[4]. Finally, teams can be formed byself-selection, in which students form their own teams without guidance from an instructor[5][4].It is important to understand the links between team performance and individualperformance/experience as well as design project success.

Larkin is an Associate Professor of Physics Education and Director and Faculty Liaison to the Combined Plan Dual-degree Engineering Program at American University. Dr. Larkin conducts ed- ucational research and has published widely on topics related to the assessment of student learning in introductory physics and engineering courses. Noteworthy is her work with student writing as a learning and assessment tool in her introductory physics courses for non-majors. One component of her research focuses on the role
a number of engineering and science fields making difficult to be covered in asingle course. However, renewable energy has a great potential for multi-disciplinary projects,both at undergraduate and graduate levels. Such projects can involve electrical, mechanical,civil, and chemical engineering aspects while still being accessible to undergraduate students.Design and development of renewable energy projects allow students to work on projects thatcan be relevant to current leading edge research and technologies. The development, content andstructure of an alternative energy course as part of this effort to embed renewable energy into ourcurriculum are also presented. Course motivation is outlined and a detailed description of thetopics

100After the full text appraisal, the 36 results were classified according to six emergent categories by their keyfocus, as summarized in Table 6. The most common focus of papers on capstone projects was related to thestructure and experience of one specific capstone project, which implied that only well-designed projects werepossibly effective in accomplishing multidisciplinary engineering education. Particularly, there was also atendency to introduce system engineering in other engineering fields to contribute to a more reasonable designof multidisciplinary capstone projects [11-14]. However, only a few articles cast insights on assessment orproject work or student learning, suggesting a need for further research to identify which kinds

This paper highlights recent researchon women EE faculty members at four-year research institutions for those who have an interestin studying women faculty in academic settings. This qualitative study found that women EEfaculty members face an alienating, isolated and sometimes hostile work environments. Thesefindings were evident in work processes such as collaboration, networking and mentoring whichwomen EE faculty members faced explicit and implicit bias. Nearly all women EE facultymembers experienced emotional harassment while a third experienced physical or sexualharassment in the department or with the promotion and tenure process.

In the context of new research demonstrating the value of selfdetermination or autonomy for students in motivating learning, enhancing self-efficacy, andsupporting persistence, the relative inflexibility of engineering curricula stood out starkly. Withinindividual courses, studies have shown the “power of choice” to positively influence studentoutcomes, for example, when students may choose from among a menu of design projects[45, 46], and recommendations have been made for the design of self-determination supportiveengineering-student learning experiences [47, 48].

These percentages remained far below the graduation rates for males.Additionally, 15% of women never enter the engineering workforce resulting in a larger gendergap [3], [16].
