As freshmen the students develop a research topic thatcould have a societal impact, usually in the vein of science and technology. Their sophomoreyear, the teams develop a research proposal based on an approved research question and performa literature review. In the third year, students are encouraged to study abroad and continue toperform research on their approved topic.

These components are aimed to introduce and teach students the concepts ofhumanitarian engineering through a practical, real-world, hands-on experience. During the firststage, the students assess needs in collaboration with in-country partners, and then research,design, develop, prototype, test and document their chosen projects. In the second stage, thestudents implement and execute these projects. Finally, the students evaluate their designs anddocument their results as well as make recommendations for future

An additional conclusion from this study was that students who didnot have access to a solution manual asked more questions of the instructor during office hoursthan students who could reference a solution manual. An additional study with engineeringstudents showed inconclusive results regarding whether graded vs. un-graded homeworkcorrelates with exam scores26.

]. Research also suggests that women are more likely to have amastery orientation (e.g. a focus on learning rather than outward appearances) to course materialthat is at odds with the performance-based, competitive orientation fostered by norm-referencedgrading [12]. It is reasonable to hypothesize then that women may find left-of-center gradingmore frustrating and confidence-shaking than men. Our study focuses on the perceptions of thisvulnerable population to a grading practice our interviewees claim is common in the engineeringcurriculum.2.
