this goal by sharing our findings with thenext cohort of Teaching Assistants in our department. We see an opportunity to build communityamong the Graduate Students that will have their first teaching experience and more experiencedfellows in our department.ConclusionsStudents perceived a sense of community in the classroom and the laboratory, and they perceivedthat building a strong community requires deliberate efforts to connect with people. As noted bythe laboratory instructor, students actively engaged during the weekly meetings and mademeaningful connections inside and outside their assigned teams. Students felt that class contentwas delivered, and communication drove the teams forward. Students expressed their motivationto work further

, cooperative learning,collaboration, and respectful consideration of new ideas and multiple points of view. Suchattributes would contribute to the quality of teamwork encountered in the multidisciplinarydesign-team environment in which engineers typically function today.The author teaches courses that primarily support a Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board(LAAB)-accredited [2] Landscape Architecture undergraduate program housed in the Universityof Delaware’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. His courses, all cross-listed inlandscape architecture and civil engineering, often have a mix of landscape architecture andengineering students simultaneously enrolled.

traditional hinged bar and weight experimental set-up frombeginning physics laboratories, as illustrated in Figure 3, can be utilized for instruction in thefirst objective. Objective #2 is analytical and will involve problem solving. A vector table withpulleys and weights, also from high school physics labs, and shown in Figure 4, is planned foruse in teaching objective #3. Objective #4 can be taught using individual truck tire scales, anexample of which is provided in Figure 5, or alternatively, using contact paper and tire pressuregauges. The remaining learning objectives for this vehicle balance module will involve using asmall-scale pulling tractor that the students can either have provided or be allowed to assemble.The pulling tractor has been
