Finally, there were many items where half or more reported that they planned to change.These were all related to the use of undergraduate peer mentors, introduced through the project,and the recognition that both graduate TAs and undergradute peer mentors were an essentialcomponent of the ecology of learning, a recognition that had come to the fore during the year.The 50 percent who expected to use peer mentors in the future might have done so earlier—ashad the 50 percent who reported this as a major change—but

the average rating in the traditional classroom. The main reason for that is asfollows: Although the conventional teaching module is adopted in the first stage (the first sixweeks), the teaching contents are smaller but with a more comprehensive teaching syllabusthan the flipped one. Therefore, students have better commanding and application of theknowledge taught in the traditional classroom. In the flipped module, teaching chapters cover70% contents of the teaching plan. Because of the flipped module, the video content uses thefragmented form under dispersed teaching, leading to students' relatively weaker mastering ofknowledge than in the first stage, which explains the second phase of the test scores showinga slightly decreasing trend

Strategic Plan:  Goal 1: Transform lives through meaningful learning experiences  Goal 2: Inspire, nurture and empower scholarship, creativity, discovery, innovation and entrepreneurial initiatives.The Project CollaborationOne challenge faced in the first year of the project collaboration was that the art and engineeringclasses met on different days. This meant that aside from one scheduled meeting outside of classtimes, the students were strongly requested to meet several times over the length of the projectoutside of class times. This did not work as hoped. While some teams did meet, othersencountered difficulty finding times to meet as a full team or reported a breakdown incommunication.

This may indicate that ourefforts to combat implicit bias were partially successful, although since we do not havepre-implicit bias activity data, we cannot be certain. While there is definite room for improvementin our classes, it is encouraging to note that the women’s responses are somewhat similar to themen’s responses.Going forward, we plan to: • Continue to administer the surveys and use results to guide future course development and other

Fifth, the students were alsoasked to develop cardboard chairs for their final team project. Students work together in teamsto develop the chairs and then present their chair to the class. This project was designed to helpstudents improve their engineering performance/competence, interest, creativity, and designefficacy. Lastly, students were required to complete weekly homework assignments where theypersonally reflect on topics such as their engineering interests, study plan, and any barriers theycan foresee that might prevent them from becoming an engineer. These were designed toimprove their engineering
