3.70Team effectiveness characteristicsThe percentage of responses of the participants on team effectiveness is presented in Table2a-c. The majority, 62.97%, strongly agreed that clear objectives are established for teamactivities. Moreover, 51.85% strongly agreed that the team members are supportive of eachother, and 40.74% agreed that the team members feel fully utilized. In summary, the resultsshowed that larger percentages of the respondents agreed with all of the items. Additionally,it was observed that the highest percentage of disagreement in some items was 7.41% andoccurred under “The team often reflects on how well they achieve the objectives” and “theteam is involved in creating task objectives.”Table 2a: Percent Responses of the

This would allow a multidisciplinaryteam of engineering undergraduates to have more experience of design with iterative steps thanis possible in the collection of separate prerequisite courses. They would also be able to havemore authentic experiences of project reporting with periodic reviews or quick poster snapshots(sessions where posters that reflect project status at key points are presented) as well as having towork with integration of hardware and software systems. All these elements are intended tobetter prepare students for the follow-on senior design (capstone) course, where the projects aremore complex and more open-ended.

In part, replication siteswere chosen for similarities to the pilot site region, such as a decline in population in the 20thcentury. Challenges aside, these cities offer corresponding opportunities [18]. Louisville is aspecial case; despite is losing population each decade from the 1970s on, a county merger in2003 nearly doubled the population of the city for the following census. Otherwise, as withSouth Bend and Youngstown, it has disinvested neighborhoods in its urban area and populationdemographics reflecting a high number of those underrepresented in STEM fields

Students’ responses were qualitatively coded to identifythemes, with results highlighting the strategies that students had developed as a result of theintervention [12]. This type of qualitative coding is important because it allows us to understandhow students incorporated the intervention’s message into their personal lives.

Understanding why engineering instructors heavily rely on tests to assess studentlearning in these courses can be crucial in promoting the use of more diverse types ofassessments, such as portfolios, concept inventory, reflection-based practices, project-basedpractices, and intentionality in terms of designing, administering, and interpreting tests, butresearch has been scarce on documenting research on this topic.

Men more frequently defined the concept in terms that reflected Innate whereaswomen leaned on Experience in their definitions. Despite these differences in how engineeringintuition was defined, there was largely consensus in participants’ responses to how engineeringintuition is developed. All participants attributed the development of intuition either completelyor in part to Experience, underscoring the notion that intuition develops alongside expertise, asexpertise is largely developed through experience [8]-[12

theteaching and learning of a physics course through the students' perception. The modifiedILD has the same three stages as the original ILD, with two main differences in whoperforms the experiment and when it is performed. Specifically, the three phases in themodified ILD are 1) predict, 2) experiment (by students working in groups, not theinstructor), and 3) reflect (in groups, not individually). The first phase, prediction, beginswith the analysis of a physical situation in which students have to predict the behavior ofthe situation based on the knowledge imparted in the session by the instructor. This occursat the end of the instructor's exposition. The second phase occurs in the laboratory sectionof the course and relates to students' experience
