the literature17. Learning communities generally take one of four forms:(1) students co-enrolled in two or more courses or students from different disciplines linked by acommon theme, (2) classroom learning communities, (3) residential learning communities, and(4) student-centered learning communities (honors, under-represented groups, etc.)18. The CICLapproach described here is a form of the first type of learning community: it engages studentsfrom different disciplines. However, the students are not co-enrolled in the same courses.Instead, the students are linked by a central theme (sustainable design) and are taking differentcourses that are linked by a common learning activity (team project). The use of the collaborativelearning activity

case for the use ofsystematic literature reviews in other areas of engineering.INTRODUCTIONA recent article in The Journal of Engineering Education by Borrego et al.1 argues for the use ofsystematic literature reviews in engineering education. These types of reviews are used in otherdisciplines to summarize previous research in order to influence future practice. It has beensuggested that the volume of previous research creates a barrier to those wishing to access thefindings and recommendations, and that a systematic literature review can lower this barrier.Better accessibility to the findings of previous research can lead to a more informedidentification of future research and to recommendations regarding current practice.The term

CIT-E activities have evolved in a short period of time,starting with sharing materials from existing infrastructure courses at University X and theUniversity of Y [1, 2, 3], to collaboratively creating sample “showcase” course materials, to thecurrent effort of creating a crowd-sourced model infrastructure course outline.This paper will describe the steps taken to create the course outline for a model infrastructureclass using a modified Delphi process.

To maintain some element of consistency across thecourse transformation, a comprehensive, multiple-choice final exam has served to providequantitative metrics on which the course improvement can be gaged. In addition, quiz questionsremained relatively similar across semesters. One-way ANOVAs revealed a statically significantdifference on quiz performance, with post-flip students performing better than those in pre-flipsemesters. In addition, students in the final iteration of the course transformation significantlyoutperformed previous students on final exams by about 7%.Taken together, the numbers suggest that the process
