of class, the topic of diversity was introduced and a whole class discussion ondiversity in the engineering classroom is facilitated. Throughout the semester, diversity wasrevisited in teaming assignments, roles, and engineering design scenarios. A key learningobjective of the courses was contributing effectively to team products and discussions. As apart of working in teams, students were expected to take on alternative perspectives inlistening, working, and communicating effectively with one another. These approaches areconsistent with best practices outlined in prior research and highlighted by Tonso18.Data CollectedThroughout the Fall 2015 semester, we collected quantitative survey data (pre and post) as wellas conducted three

Mr. ElZomor worked as a Project Manager for several years and delivered complex projects, one of which was an iconic $150 million office park. Not only is Mohamed a specialist in the construction field, but also with extensive research within the advanced educational pedagogies, energy, and environmental disciplines. Mr. ElZomor developed an index to define small infrastructure projects’ scope and associated risk. The overall goal of ElZomor’s work is to leverage the integration of energy efficiency measures into construction, building design and operation processes for societal good.Prof. Kristen

Could better materialshave been provided? Did you have way too much or way too little of any supplies? How did it fitwithin the time frame? How did the wrap-up discussion go?
