Each time a participant indicated that a particular individual on their teamexhibited a particular behavior based on their reading of the vignette, one of the open-endedquestions asked was: “In what way do you feel ______'s behavior during the project is/wassimilar to the passage above?” These responses were randomized and de-identified. The web-based computer software Dedoose was used to code all 366 excerpts based on the 11 originalbehavior definitions independently of which behavior the participant had intended to indicate.A given excerpt could be

These models orframeworks manifested further expansions and exploration of students’ epistemologicaldevelopment, such as Belenky et al. ’s work in the Women’s Way of Knowing [9] [10], King andKitchener’s Reflective Judgement Model[11] and Kuhn’s Argumentative Thinking[12]. In spite ofthe unique features of each theoretical model and framework, they all demonstrated a similardevelopmental trend which was first delineated in Perry’s theory [13] [14], that is, from a dualistic,right-or wrong vintage point to a contextual, relativistic understanding.In engineering education, quite a number of researchers have tried to explore students’epistemological

Based Learning (PBL) with thecaveat that individual students define their own problem and work toward their own goal(s) inthe studio.Studio learning outside of engineering (art/design, architecture, drama, etc.) is often focused onteaching procedural skills (e.g., specific techniques, approaches, tools, and media) usingconcepts and ideas to establish the conditions, examples, and inspirations that spark creativityand exploration. Applying this to engineering subject matter requires a different approach where,in studio learning, Dinham considers a distinction between the educator as “controller-of-information” versus as “orchestrator”[8]. Taking lead from Dinham’s general recommendations,the following guidelines listed by the Eberly Center were

Here, teams apply the gained knowledge to solve carefully designed applicationactivities. These activities are designed following the well-known 4-S Framework, i.e. SignificantProblem, Same Problem, Specific Choice and Simultaneous Report. Michaelsen [13] describesthe 4-S approach as follows: a. Address a significant problem that demonstrates a use of a particular concept. b. Make a specific choice among clear alternatives. c.

strain.BackgroundThe ability for universities and other academic institutions to teach inter-disciplinary engineeringeffectively has increased over the past few decades. An example of this is shown in the progressmade in several studies by Marasco. In each of the studies it was found that when two or moredisciplines were implemented into the curriculum in order to teach the students a subject, thestudents actually learned the material better than if the subject was taught by itself [6]. In anotherthesis presented by Rigby, it was found that when students were presented with multiplerepresentations, or multiple sides of the same concept(s), that the students had a betterunderstanding of an ill-defined concept [8].
