students with positive team experiences see greatergains in self-efficacy than students with poor team dynamics and cohesion?Using a modified version of Carberry et al.’s senior design self-efficacy tool,6 we examinedpotential correlations between self-efficacy, team dynamics/cohesion, and team performance.Students were given three self-efficacy surveys, one early in the term, one mid-term, and one latein the term, corresponding to times where they were working on an individual project only, bothon an individual project and group project, and just on a group project.Because we have had low participation in past studies, we were hesitant to use the full Carberryinstrument that contains 36 items (nine items in the context of four self-concepts: self

Like I try it, I mess up, and you know what, forget it, I quit.But like I just learned to just stick with something all the way through, try a little harder. Itshows result[s].”Cyrus’s claim here is that the experience helped to develop persistence, broadly. He elaboratedon this by giving an example from school, where he persisted on a difficult presentationassignment that normally would have prompted to quit:“I was doing it, I kept getting stuck, you know. So I just took a break really fast because mybrain was fried from irritation and stress. And you know, I finished it, and I’m glad I did, and atfirst I was like, ‘Look, dude [to his partner], you’re going to have to do it.’ But you know

The choice of courses is guided by the followingprinciples: • Each Student Outcome will be assessed with student work in a course(s) termed “benchmark course(s).” • Required courses in the program curriculum will be selected as benchmark courses. We chose this approach because all students take the required courses. • Although a benchmark course will likely address multiple Student Outcomes, typically one or two of its learning outcomes will be designated for course-embedded assessment. • Because Student Outcomes are assessed in two groups on a rotating schedule, the benchmark courses are organized and assessed in two alternating

studentscome from a wide range of backgrounds and my experience of over 30 years of teachingundergraduates is that most undergraduates do not have a strong command of unitconversions. This is easy to determine by giving your class a pop quiz. Ask them todetermine the potential energy of 10 lbm 100 ft above the ground in Btu using PE=mgh if1 Btu=550 ft lbf and g=32.2 ft s-2. My experience is that a significant number ofundergraduates (not just first-year students) are not proficient at applying gc for unitconversions. Because units are such an integral part of engineering calculations, it justmakes sense to invest a little time to ensure that all freshmen know how to systematicallyapply unit conversions including the use of gc.COMMUNICATIONS It
