foundthat team conflict is highly negatively correlated with team performance and team enjoyment incapstone design courses, with 1 in 4 students reporting that they experienced significant conflict,with the majority of cases consisting of conflict of a personal, or relationship, nature [1].In 2015, a series of teamwork training modules were developed by the Teamwork Clinic throughthe collaboration of various departments on campus [2]. Each of the six modules were designedto integrate seamlessly into courses with large or lengthy design projects, with the goal thatstudents apply what they learn directly to their team processes and team projects. This papercontinues to expand on work that has been published about the first four teamwork modules inthe

Students in these sections include majors fromMath and partner disciplines ranging from the School of the Arts to Humanities and Science,Business, and Engineering. At the onset of the project, the two PIs (one from Math and one fromEngineering) conducted a faculty survey to gauge current attitudes, level of interest in theproject, and the degree to which faculty felt the math courses listed above impacted theirstudents’ success. Broadly, the survey showed that engineering faculty were interested in howmathematics courses were (or should be) preparing students for engineering courses and thatlower level

A variety of research has been conducted tocatalog the positive impacts of makerspaces especially as it relates to engineering education. Ascampuses develop makerspaces, they have used the spaces as a type of laboratory to test theimpact of projects and courses related to making. We will build on this growing literature as wedevelop programming and policies for our Innovation Center (expected to open in the Fallsemester of 2022) that will promote an open and inclusive experience for users.New

By using the developed AR application, students will be able to learn aboutdiverse science topics more efficiently and visually. The AR mobile application allows the userto project a 3D (3-Dimensional) AR model of science topics on a real-world surface (such as atable or a piece of paper). The users will be able to interact with the model as if it existed outsideof the mobile application using touch interfaces.
