Engineering Education, 2016 Integrating Creative Writing and Computational Thinking to Develop Interdisciplinary ConnectionsAbstractA typical college curriculum does not make it easy for students to establish connections betweenrequired general education courses and courses in their majors. Intentional linking of coursesfrom different disciplines using interdisciplinary pedagogical strategies allows students to makethose connections while developing the interdisciplinary skills which will benefit their collegeand post-college careers.In addition to communication, critical thinking and reasoning, and collaborative skills, it hasbeen recently argued that computational thinking (i.e., the application of computing concepts

As expected,the male members of the teams concentrated on task functions. Female team members focused onboth task and team functions, thereby providing a more integrated approach to the engineeringdesign process. Because of the small sample size, we draw no conclusions. But these resultspoint clearly to the need for expanded study of the teamwork model.Introduction and Overview of Our Study The benefits of teamwork are widely recognized in both academic and industryenvironments.

With a few exceptions,community college faculty seek external funding to develop new academic programs, improvecurricula and teaching, or implement student-centered professional development programs, oftenin partnerships with four-year institutions. Community college faculty's two main responsibilitiesare teaching and advising students. In this context, mentoring takes shape (Hensel, 2021). Forinstance, mentoring may occur in the classroom, the laboratory, and the office. In theirclassrooms, faculty uncover the hidden curriculum, introduce academic language, and promotethe notion of students becoming scholars
