The most important impact of this practice was that the knowledge and experiencestudent gained in their project accumulated and stored in a single location. The students workingon the same topic had access to the folder as well as the instructor(s). When new students startedto work on the same topic, the Google Drive folder from past teams was shared with them andthey had access to everything the previous team(s) had done and used.The final overall course assessment was according to the following items:  Proposal 15%  Interim report 15%  Final report 30%  Progress reports or meetings 20%  Poster

In what way(s)?  Question 3: What can engineers do for sustainability?  Question 4: What sustainable engineering design tool/principle do you know?  Question 5: Have you heard of any individual or organization take any initiatives for sustainability? If yes, explain the details.The answers before and after showed an obvious progress in students’ knowledge ofsustainability and sustainable engineering approaches.

By using anunderexplored mixed methods approach to data analysis, we respond to Bryman’s request thatthe community more broadly incorporate mixing strategies in data analysis [19]. We also followKajfez and Creamer’s suggestions by making explicit our purpose for mixing, emphasizing thealignment between this mixed methods approach and our research questions [18].BackgroundThe Rising Sophomore Abroad

It also has started thediscussion of where additional library collaboration earlier in the mechanical engineeringprogram would be appropriate and beneficial. This additional exposure and training will buildfamiliarity with information fluency skills, which may be perceived as difficult, but are essentialin the professional environment.Works Cited[1] G.
