) are previously developed ground rules systemsrepeatable in lower-division undergraduate engineering courses that perform group work? 2)does student team cohesion improve when team-specific ground rules are established prior toperforming group projects? The system was applied to a large undergraduate group engineeringproject that focused on a design-build-test application of bioengineering principles usingcomputer-aided-design. The sophomore level biomedical engineering course provided 21 teamsof 5-6 students with a student contract that established which particular ground rules areacceptable given the team’s culture. Students were encouraged to use their ground rules and teamcontract throughout the course’s group project to improve team

at NAU and CQUPT.NAU faculty use the shortened semester duration to have additional time to arrange livingabroad, travel preparation, and organize courses for work in China within the 16-week NAUsemester timeframe.Within the twelve weeks, all course content is carried out while at CQUPT with the exception ofthe final exam. NAU faculty prepare the final exams and CQUPT co-faculty along with theuniversity administrative office distributes and grade them. This usually occurs between week 17and 19. In order to keep the students active in the subjects outside of the twelve-week window,CQUPT further requests NAU faculty arrange additional labs/projects for students to work on.One major concern of the program students during their learning process

Solomon et al. reported that there is a visible gap in computing education research thatdoes not capture the intersectionality of being a Black woman in computing 12. Schar et al.explored the classroom belonging experiences with students in their first engineering-specifcclass, and found that belonging had two separate sources: academic belonging and socialbelonging 13.
