In the role-playing exercise, students were asked to pick rolesand use one of the motivations that were identified by the students.The initial plan was to find intervention methods that instructors could use when they notice thatsome students were being excluded. The students, though, felt that intervention methodstargeted, at specific students would be counterproductive and requested that the inclusivity bepart of the team expectations and training, rather than a targeted intervention.In Fall 2018, the authors administered a pilot survey designed to validate the results of Zhu andMeuth’s [21] survey of communication, teamwork, and

For instance, while teachers shouldbe familiar with the steps of an EDP, research suggests that this is not sufficient to productivelyfacilitate students’ engineering. In a prior project [10], we documented how teachers’ attention tosteps of an EDP can be a barrier for their meaningful engagement with their students’engineering. When a teacher focused solely on students progressing through each step of theEDP, she missed productive aspects of students’ thinking that deviated from the linear processshe had planned [11].

Designers are intentional and can explain the designrationale with each suggested iteration. Experienced designers run quick, valid tests, conductfocused diagnostic troubleshooting, and actively look for potential faults. These help them moveefficiently through progressively better ideas and prototypes. This stands in contrast to naivedesigners who tend to run random and confounded experiments, brush aside unanticipatedresults, and often remain intent on original ideas [8], [10].

, scaling-up from a pilot processto a full-sized product plant is not a linear scaling as many processes, transformations, flow,chemical reactions and heat transfer are not together linearly scalable. That is: scale-up is(usually) possible but requires careful planning and “watching the dials and turning the knobs”on the first series of runs. Our first class sequence is a bench design, our second class sequenceis a small pilot and third year will be a full pilot plant with subsequent years scaling to fullproduction. Even then, we will have start-up issues and fine tuning to deal with as we continueto iteratively improve – watching the dials and turning the knobs as necessary.By using the “pilot approach,” and managing the specific changes made to
