prompts in ill-structured tasks for collaborative problem solving in undergraduate engineering courses. Ill-structured tasks are important to engineering courses because they are similar to authenticproblems that students will encounter in their future workplaces [1], [2]. Solving ill-structuredtasks collaboratively allows students to expand their learning beyond “drill-and-practice”-typeproblem solving and engage in higher order thinking and co-construction of knowledge [3].Nevertheless, studies have indicated that it is necessary to scaffold ill-structured tasks becausethey are complex [4], [5], and students do not naturally implement effective collaborativeinteractions while solving these tasks [6]. However, it is not clear what type(s) of

Label the relevant parts of the following image [5] 3. The fan pulls quiescent air from the outside and moves it through the front nozzle. If there is 1 kg/s of air brought in and the air moves at a rate of 10 m/s through the nozzle, how much energy is required to run the fan? It can be assumed that you are holding the dryer horizontally, and atmospheric pressure occurs throughout. 4. If you wanted to increase the speed of the air exiting the hair dryer, how would you change the design? Think of more

The introduction of individuals into the industry that are moreinclined to act collaboratively could act as a catalyst for change.Purpose of the StudyGender diversity has been connected to increased profits across multiple industries.8 Thesefindings have led to the creation of the value-in-diversity perspective, which contends that adiverse workforce has a distinct benefit to business.8 However, these benefits are not limited toincreased earnings.8 For example, there is evidence that the inclusion of women in CM maydecrease conflict and increase collaboration. Brahnam, et al.’s study suggests that women maypossess more effective conflict resolution attributes than their male

During the firstyear, P5 was quiet and introverted, yet he demonstrated a significant interests towards thetechnology-centered elements of the production process, often partnering with P4 in theseactivities.
