laboratory projects in the middle years [27]–[29].Engineering teams offer a mode for interdisciplinarity and task delegation so students can finishlarge and complicated projects within the span of a course. What is not often taught, however,are the various skills necessary in the social processes that make teaming effective:communication, delegation, and conflict resolution, to name a few [30]–[32]. The socialcircumstances in which these skills become relevant can reveal hidden epistemologies that guidethe teaming process, especially when gender differences and dynamics are considered [21].Within engineering, these epistemologies are woven into the culture of engineering learningenvironments and often the engineering field itself [18].

study found that being able to test the use of the robotsin actual homes versus in a laboratory setting gave useful feedback, both in areas that needimprovement and in what ways people really used the robots to assist with their ADL. For those people with lower-limb mobility issues that use power wheelchairs, one issuefacing that needs to be addressed is charging the wheelchairs’ batteries. This activity sometimesrequires manual dexterity that the disabled person does not have. Work has been done to create awireless power transfer pad that a wheelchair could simply be parked on to charge it, rather thanrequiring the wheelchair to be plugged in. This technology would increase the self-reliance ofpowered wheelchair users and make it easier
school students participated in a week-long summer camp thatfocused on electrical and computer engineering (ECE) concepts and practices. The five-daysummer camp consisted of hands-on activities, tours of different laboratories in ECE disciplines,and a group project that spanned the whole week where students built circuits using theSparkFun Inventor’s kit. During the group activity, the students were organized into eightgroups, and each group was mentored by an undergraduate mentor who facilitated thecollaborative hands-on activities. The middle school students completed validated and reliablepre and post-surveys adapted from the Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey andthe Group Work Skills Questionnaire Manual. The S-STEM survey is

These choices are often protected by academic freedompolicies [3].In particular, science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical sciences (STEM)courses may rely heavily on IM, such as textbooks, to augment lecture and laboratory learningactivities and lectures. Textbooks are often content-rich and may have substantial onlineresources to assist learners and support instruction [2]. However, there are a myriad of additionalinformation resources available to supplement or replace textbooks, and these might bepurchased by students, provided by faculty (e.g. course reserves), provided through universityand college libraries, or be Open Access or Open Educational Resources (OER) that

to guidelines set forth by ABET aswell as an active advisory board composed of alumni and mining industry leaders. Both of theseentities emphasize the need for mining engineers to communicate technical information to a varietyof audiences, including both technically-trained supervisors and subordinates as well as non-technical members of the work force and the general public. Given the number of technical coursesin the curriculum, students have ample opportunities to develop effective communication skillsthrough laboratory reports, design and feasibility projects, and technical presentations. However,creating opportunities to develop communication skills aimed at non-technical audiences has notalways been feasible or achievable.Content &
