to be at one with others; however, males also value cooperation for males createrelationships by doing things together.13,15From the description of language used by males and females, it can be seen that some game-based activities appeal more to males, ones competitive in nature, while others appeal to females,ones cooperative in nature. It can also be seen that game-based activities cooperative in naturecan also appeal to males; therefore, cooperative activities are able to engage both genders.Engaging both genders is an important task to accomplish in regards to communication becauseit is important to discover a way to teach both genders effective communication skills for theyare important in future careers.13 The goal of these game-based

to bring more faculty andstudents together to develop novel therapeutics that can be translated to the clinic. To trainstudents on current methods and research in drug delivery for academic or industrial careers, wehave developed a new course on drug delivery systems (DDS) for juniors, seniors and graduatestudents at the University of Pennsylvania.The course is taught by engineering and medical school faculty for students in engineering,chemistry, pharmacology and other biomedical science programs. The students enrolled in theclass reflect the range of expertise of engineers and scientists working on drug delivery projectsin academia and industry. Faculty and industrial speakers involved in drug delivery researchpresent lectures in their

Knowing that the groups are similar from theoutset, a comparison can be drawn between the slopes of the regression lines (which indicate theimprovement of student performance over time) shown in Figures 7 and 8. Although the largerslope for the experimental group compared to the control group (1.36 vs. 1.01) implies that Figure 8.

engineering major and theprospects of having a fulfilling career in engineering. At the end of the course, students wereasked to rate their level of agreement on additional questions regarding their use of WeBWorKand their feelings on the use of WeBWorK as a homework tool in their thermodynamics course.The survey showed that 17% of students who completed the survey (n = 23) had no experiencewith WeBWorK prior to taking the thermodynamics course. Students who reported having earlyexposure to WeBWorK identified the use of WeBWorK in the mathematics courses and inengineering Circuits (ENGR 221) and engineering Statics and Mechanics of Materials (ENGR220). The survey polled students regarding the amount of time per week students dedicated toworking on
