Subject matters in computer science such asprogramming in game development, its associated programming language, and how the gamedevelopment platform (i.e. Unity) integrates with internet hosting service for softwaredevelopment (i.e. Github) were difficult to master prior to starting the project. Additionally, theexperience of integrating multiple computer programming languages was an experience theynever had which challenged them to better understand the project’s structure.Effectiveness of Reinforcement: One of the impactful components of the project was the factthat game
gains [7,8]. But an app for drawing FBDs has not yet been created. Thus, wehave begun developing an app designed to assist students in mastering the skills necessary todraw complete and accurate FBDs.Previous Efforts at FBD SoftwareA large body of research has developed around FBD instruction and assessment [9]. Recentinnovations include hand-drawn FBD instruction, such as the exploded-view technique [10], andthe use of hands-on exercises that allow students to feel forces and moments as they constructFBDs [11-13]. These improvements to FBD instruction have undoubtedly improved theundergraduate learning experience, but students still struggle.

Two-person teams find it difficult to master, as they have to simultaneously check for flooding,monitor flows and concentrations, and adjust the liquid drainage valve to maintain sealing andprevent escape of vapor through the bottom exit stream. In addition, the packing within thecolumn is essentially fixed, since a change would require disassembly of the multi-floor glasscolumn.To expand access of the equipment to smaller student teams, to provide a direct comparisonbetween equipment of different scales, and to allow easy testing of different packing materials,we designed a small-scale absorption column, connecting liquid and vapor inlets and samplinglines to those of the existing system.The current paper focuses on detailing the components

We also discuss the steps forwardto make this collaboration a model for other courses in our curriculum at our institution.IntroductionStrong writing skills are crucial for competitiveness in STEM fields. Clear and cogent writingand communication skills are critical competencies as identified by ABET (Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology) [1], and the National Academy of Engineering [2]. Today’ssuccessful engineer must master more than one competency (see figure 1), includingcommunication and writing skills, which comprise between 20%-40% of an engineer’s workday:writing project proposals, memoranda, business letters, and e-mails

each student only masters aportion of the objectives. (As an aside, specialization has not been widely reported in literature,with much of the experimental work coming from Schmidt [10].) Specialization is a naturalembrace of interdependence – students are giving themselves interdependent roles (roleinterdependence) to improve their team performance (reward interdependence) and mitigate thetime requirements of a project (resource interdependence) – but it can reduce learning becausestudents only learn the material in their specialty. In a series of interviews with students andfaculty, Schmidt documented the occurrence of specialization on student project teams andconfirmed that students and faculty perceive that specialization reduces learning
