I then discuss my efforts to study student impressions ofinformal collaboration versus formalized group work in a sophomore level digital design course.Finally, I discuss the measured results, and implications for future work.Motivation and BackgroundWhile well managed team-based assignments can have positive effects on student outcomes, ifnot implemented properly, team-based assignments can have a negative effect on studentlearning4. In these scenarios, team performance can be hampered by intra-team competition,mutual distrust, differing work ethics, and uneven distributions of labor among group members.The danger of suboptimal groups can be especially acute for students in engineeringfundamentals

understanding of and a commitment to address professionaland ethical responsibilities including a respect for diversity2.To provide a collaborative academic environment for cross-border students, an emphasis wasplaced on technology development in multidisciplinary teams. Collaborate with the ComputerSystems (CSE) engineering program from Tecnológico Nacional de Mexico /InstitutoTecnológico de Matamoros (TecNM/ITM), presented an opportunity for the students to shareideas and analyze how other engineering program frame the problem and conceptualize thepotential solutions.The language barrier was present, but the international engineering standards and diversesoftware platforms were used by the students as the initial bridge to start communicating
science and engineering education and careers in Qatar. These surveys usedLikert scales and asked respondents to assess the level to which they agreed or disagreed with agiven statement. For each program, the first survey was administered on the first day of theprogram, before any presentations or activities. The second survey was administered at the endof the two-week program. The same statements were presented on the pre-program and post-program survey, with the post-program survey adding additional questions.Over the course of the two 10-day programs, students joined morning plenary sessions in whichthey participated in presentations on topics such as engineering ethics, critical thinking, technicalcommunication skills and the role of

[7].Emotion has been taken out of engineering education, which in part drives the need to “re-humanize” engineering through multiple perspectives and diverse thought [8]. Dym et al., (2003)expand further by identifying the importance of reframing problems in engineering design. Byfocusing on the non-technical complexity of the problem, students learn not to oversimplifyproblems, but to design with social, ethical, and multi-disciplinary concerns in mind [8].Encouraging students to flex their creative skill within their respective classes, rather than solelythrough sparse elective requirements is vital to enhance their approach problems such that itincludes a multitude of perspectives. Framing a problem can often be the most difficult part
challenges students may experience during the transition to graduate school and getting started in coursework and research activities Communication strategies for working with colleagues from different backgrounds, experiences and disciplines Balancing academic, research and personal responsibilities Research ethics and responsible research practices for the mentor’s discipline4. ConclusionThrough the proposed activities which are grounded in best practices as well as multiple theories,participants will come out of this interactive panel discussion with draft versions of researchgroup charters, plans to enact mentorship contracts, and knowledge gained from other earlycareer faculty through case studies and group
students. Streaming anddownloading, whether legally or illegally, is the go-to format for the current generation of musicconsumers. Physical copies of music are largely not in demand, with the exception of certaingenres of music like heavy metal. It is thus helpful for students to learn where their currentforms of music enjoyment came from, and how they have evolved to where they are today. Thecourse has thus expanded the music acquisition topics to include the impacts of the internet onmusicians, record labels, and consumers, as well as ethical and legal arguments that have arisen.In a similar way, music creation has also been changed forever by the online technologies thatnow exist. In order to make a recording of music, musicians of the past

expected. However, the workloads were judged to be heavy as the studentswere required to not only become familiar with the idea of a real-time operating system, but werealso being asked (some for the first time) to implement a complex hardware system on a shorttimetable. The students during this term dealt with high stress levels as they moved deeper intothe material. For some students, the high stress situations led to a stronger work ethic and anincreased sense of team responsibility. For others, it deepened the divide between members oftheir team who seemed more ahead of the curve and members who seemed to be lagging behindor not pulling their weight. This had an obvious impact on the final product that was eventuallydelivered. During

engineering departments themselves remain pri-marily concerned with how design directly impacts their teaching and interactions with students.As architects, engineers, and planners for more than a dozen collegiate engineering-departmentbuildings in the past decade, SmithGroupJJR has helped develop a series of best practices re-lated to facility design in this new era. While not the only firm to explore them, SmithGroupJJRhas organized these new best practices into five distinct trends that encourage active participa-tion, collaboration, and even spontaneity, reflecting an underlying ethic of student engagementfrom the freshman level up. We present them here, provide real-world examples from Smith-GroupJJR’s portfolio, and also propose methods of

particular occasions, the online student was asked to communicate with the in campusclass students. In one occasion, she presented her project for the class students andanswered their questions. A presentation of the long distance student was a memorableexperience for the class students, as she was assigned to present about her constructionjob experience, professional ethics, and her suggestions for their job search. That was avery attractive session for the in campus students, as the communication was possiblesuch that she could see the class students with the front camera, and they could see herface and her presentation on the screen. The adjustments have been prepared before theclass for such communication.The above consideration created a
