/S) transition, software-defined radio, through-the-wall radarimaging (TWRI)I.INTRODUCTION Materials common in construction are reinforced concrete or cement-based materials.Occasionally, these materials naturally develop cracks due to deterioration throughout their lifecycle. The detection of cracks, erosion, voids, and gaps in walls and structural supports is criticalin preventing structural failures. Microwave-based, non-invasive techniques such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) are preferred to detect structural anomalies since there is no impacton the integrity of the structure or material due to the penetration ability of microwaves intodielectric materials. Current NDT equipment have several limitations and drawbacks, such asbeing

questions are generally related to the heat transfer processes/geometriesdescribed in said figure. Students are asked to carefully scrutinize the figure toidentify the probable mode(s) of heat transfer. During the review period, groups ofstudents work together to come up with potential exam problems related to thecovered content and then identify strategies, methodologies, and/or relevantequations to obtain solutions. The primary role of the instructor during theseactivities is to ensure that the discussions are relevant to the upcoming exam’scontent or focus. Review sessions are typically held the day before the exam, andthe preview figures are provided in advance. The review activity is based onvarious studies supporting collaborative learning as

correctly [2]. Given these problems with teamwork projects in engineering classes within allengineering disciplines, a goal of this research study is to involve students themselves in oneparticular class, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, in researching and improving theteamwork process. To encourage active student participation, the research team choseparticipatory action research (PAR) as the primary research framework, due to its emphasis onlistening and learning from the people (i.e. engineering students) who are impacted by aparticular problem or issue (i.e. teamwork projects) and using this information to create actionsteps towards positive change [3]. Since the 1960’s, PAR has been used extensively ineducational settings [4] and
