Eight common underlying causes of conflict are thenintroduced [23]: • Attitudes • Perceptions • Personal goals • Behaviours • Communication • Resources • Conflict styles • ValuesReferring to this list, students are asked to consider which cause(s) may have underpinned theconflict they described and to reflect on how their knowledge of the underlying cause(s) mightaffect or change their solution. Finally, students are introduced to the following concepts whichserve to establish a positive and supportive interaction [24

The supply and demand of graduates currently is not in an equilibrium stage,and despite the efforts to expand STEM opportunities, the number of college students pursuingscience and engineering is stagnating. 7 Stagnation continues when unemployment is at recordlows for S&E graduates, this dynamic defies the “invisible hand

Buildings are highly technical and critical systems that are engineered to performance levelsthat allow buildings to function for 100’s of years. To achieve this, buildings require engineers andmanagers to be of a learned, regulated and licensed profession. While many engineering degrees educatebuilding design, perhaps best suited for the task is
internal funding of a faculty member. Under this model, one or more individualsparticipate in a faculty member‟s research and are funded either directly by the research orthrough supplemental funding obtained through a funding agency such as the National ScienceFoundation (NSF). Another model, the focus of the current research, is the establishment of aresearch experience site targeting a certain segment of the population. There are also researchprograms for prospective students in K-14 levels, including a week-long hands-on high schoolresearch experience camp7 with desired program outputs and a two-week community collegeresearch experience program with retention and recruitment goals8.A research experience site can be sponsored by an external or

Multidisciplinary Engineering Programs Accredited by ABETAs background, Farison and Newberry (2003) previously reported on accredited Engineering and EngineeringScience programs, and explored related historical trends to provide a macro-level perspective of such programs[4-5]. However, only Engineering (sometimes called General Engineering) and Engineering Science(s)programs were considered. From a micro perspective, these general engineering programs varied frominstitution to institution in curricular and student

helped them in their undergraduateeducation to succeed. The goal of using this analysis, as consistent with founders of themethodology [12], is to develop a theory during textural analysis without preconceived ideas onwhat the solution, or theory, could be. GMT was developed in the 1960’s to give sociologists atool that allowed them to generate new theories. It has begun to be adopted by the designdisciplines to help navigate the fuzzy front end of design by coding observations in transcripts,for example. The idea is that stories can emerge, and connections can be made betweenunrelated ideas and help form potential hypotheses [13]. In this initial coding exercise, word-by-word, and line-by-line coding strategies were employed, as described by

After this first year, five of the partners agreed to provide a realisticengineering project for the students, to provide a project mentor for two semesters (we alsoprovide faculty mentor(s)), and monetary support for the projects, with sufficient overhead thatwe could sustain the program.

Each Team Role is defined by six factors: (1) personality; (2)mental ability; (3) current values and motivation; (4) field constraints; (5) experience; and (6)role learning [15]. Of particular relevance to the VIP Teams’ structure are the connections thatBelbin established between the following six stages of a team’s development and the need forprevailing Team Roles at each stage: (1) identifying needs; (2) finding ideas; (3) formulatingplans; (4) making ideas; (5) establishing team organization; and (6) following through [14].The Belbin Team Roles have been operationalized through

WPI many entering students have recently expressed an interest in robotics. During theacademic year 2006/07, for example, over 130 visiting prospective students listed robotics eitheras a principal interest area or as their planned major on WPI Admissions Information forms. InFall 2005 and 2006, 96 and 101 freshmen, respectively, joined the WPI Robotics Team. One-third of them stated an interest in pursuing robotics for their senior project or academic major.43% had known of the WPI/FIRST/robotics connection before enrolling at WPI and 62% ofthese indicated that this knowledge was a strong positive reason for selecting WPI.3.0 Education in RoboticsOne may date the earliest robotics-related undergraduate curricula to the 1980’s where
