factors relating to student attrition in engineering &applied science are debated within the literature [23,24] studies which suggest that ‘ActiveLearning’ has a positive impact on the student experience within the engineering field areperhaps the most optimistic; with evidence suggesting that hands-on, relevant active learningexperiences can do much to promote a positive student experience [25,26].2.1 The Case Study OrganisationGosta University is located in the central region of the United Kingdom. A university since the1960’s, Gosta is one of the UK’s most diverse universities, with over 60% of its studentpopulation originating from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) backgrounds.

Traditional designs of “seat belts” for dogs aim toprotect the lives of drivers and passengers by restraining the dog. In a serious accident,those restraints can do serious harm to the dog. The design created by Kristina and Nickprotects the dog’s vulnerable shoulder bones. Kristina had the idea when a friend’s dogdied in an accident and she could not find a good seat belt for her own dog. The teamreceived positive feedback that demonstrated that there may be a market, but the team didnot pursue these leads very

based on scheduling of the co-author of this paper, time constraints onour study existed. While interviews would have provided a deeper look at students’ views ofengineering, the time for interviews was not available. Another limitation in the consistency ofthe data was the fact that many of the students were English Language Learners or below gradelevel. Many discrepancies involving vocabulary in Questions 1-3 may be the result of a lack ofwriting ability or vocabulary. For future work, vocabulary, writing, and reading will have greaterinfluence during the units.References[1] Cerinsek, G., Hribar, T., Glodez, N., and Dolinsek, S. “Which are my future career priorities and what influenced my choice of studying science, technology

asperspective, experience, and specialized knowledge, which, combined, may match thecomplexity of their joint challenge (Beyerlein, M., Han, S. J., & Prasad, M, 2017). Teameffectiveness emerges when the interaction process enables those unique qualities to blend into awhole, with each member engaged. However, few teams have the skills or process habits thatenable a high level of blending to occur. Therefore, this study’s focus is to identify themicro-level patterns of behavior (habits) in student teams that enable full realization of the valueof member diversity.Diversity is commonly defined as a characteristic of groups of two or more people and usuallyindicates demographic differences among group members. By leveraging diversity, teams mayachieve
