The course provides students with a hands-on learningexperience in a relatively unstructured environment as they prepare to enter the workforce aspracticing engineers. Course outcomes and curriculum align with Criterion 3 and Criterion 5 ofthe ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs [1]. Students enrolled in the class,which is traditionally offered each Spring and Fall term, are matched in teams consisting of 4-6students and tasked

Cooperative learning researchers and practitioners haveshown that positive peer relations are essential to success in college. The positive interpersonalrelationships promoted through cooperative learning are regarded as crucial to today’s learningcommunities. They reduce uncertainties and increase the quality of social adjustment andintegration into college life. Isolation and alienation, on the other hand, often lead to failure. Twomajor reasons for dropping out of college are: failure to establish a social network of classmatesand failure to become academically involved in classes (Mckeachie et al 1986; Tinto 1994).The

Engineering faculty frequently have little experience conducting rigorous researchusing established social science theories and methods. RIEF mentors are experiencedengineering education researchers. Mentorship in the context of a RIEF grant is unique, as it isdifferent from graduate student training or peer mentorship between faculty in the samediscipline. Common conceptions of mentorship include a novice receiving guidance from anexpert, whereas RIEF PIs and co-PIs are both experts in their own domains. Mentoringrelationships between faculty are understudied, especially in the context of faculty with expertisein different disciplines that have unique training needs. Therefore

Male students who are not in underrepresentedminority groups generally performed the best on the assessment. The effectiveness of the spatialvisualization training course was determined by giving those students the same assessment again that all ofthe students took initially.

Students need to work in small teams, 3 or 4 students at most, during regularly-scheduled classroom hours. The roles of individual teams must be scheduled so that sufficienttime is available for each team to play each role. Fortunately, software architecture lends itself toshort periods of intense team activity, with reporting and peer review of results later. We believethat this active learning style is an effective approach for most subjects, but especially forsoftware architecture.IntroductionThe methods described here are
