Each team developed a plan tosupport communication throughout the project to promote healthy team development. The planincluded specifics on the responsibilities and practices the group would follow in order tocomplete the project. When the afterschool clubs began, both education students and engineeringstudents were in attendance for almost all club meetings. The largest change during this iterationof the cross-disciplinary project was the process for identifying the club theme. In prior years,teams independently chose their club topic at the first in-class meeting. In the third year, theengineering students on each team identified a

homeworkassignments enables students to develop greater cognitive level problem solving skills. Homework is a very valuable tool in learning engineering. Therefore, we are concernedwith our students whether they are copying the homework solutions available in internet and/orother sources. This has become especially evident when a student gets a perfect or near perfectoverall score for their homework grade, yet their test scores are very low. A study by Wichita StateUniversity [3] mentions that approximately 70% of students in the U.S. were involved directly orindirectly in cheating during exams, homework, term projects, reports, papers and presentationsusing different techniques. According to a paper [4] entitled, “The Theory of Planned Behavioras a

Outcomes of the Journal Club activity have been increased studentknowledge of the literature, decreased apprehension in younger students toward understandingtechnical publications, and a slight increase in productivity towards publication goals within thegroup. Including this weekly meeting as an independent study course for credit also encouragesall students to read the articles prior to the meeting and enhances participation in groupdiscussions.IntroductionNew faculty encounter many challenges as they strive to set up their
