Project Description:The subject of this paper is part of the Learning Module #10: Flow of Air Through Ducts. Thestudents were required to design a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system tosatisfy the heating load requirements for one of the MET laboratories rooms in the ETDepartment. Other than access to the laboratory for floor plan measurements, no additionalinformation was given to the students.This HVAC project was specifically created and implemented for three important reasons.

, were two very different things, but they were and arevery much entwined and the discussions at many of the section meetings made that clear. If one wants to pursue a pathway to research in engineering education, the researchmethodology in engineering education should be no different than the same methodologicalapproach used in technical engineering research: 1. define the research question or hypothesis, 2.write a proposal or plan, 3. seek funding or other appropriate support, 4. do the work rigorously,and 5. publish the results in peer-reviewed journals. In this sense, engineering educationresearch should be considered favorably in promotion and tenure. One caveat in educationalresearch is that the student (human subject) is the target

a conflict cannot be safely investigated withoutpotential hazardous repercussions to the student’s ability to land a job offer or risk “stepping onproverbial toes”.In order to address the contextual conflict resolution and preserve a relative balance of adding newmaterial with an already information rich curriculum, a short role playing module was designed thatcan be put in virtually any engineering course at any level. The entire module takes between 1-2hours total and can be adapted for small or large groups as needed. The idea is to engage thestudents, provide a safe environment in which to role play a difficult scenario, come to someresolution, develop a plan of action and most importantly have fun!

Students who were not involved in the deliberation in the days leading up to the project selection were often left to fend for themselves, and so one project had a group of “outliers,” people who hadn’t planned ahead and didn’t know which group to join. Many members in this group did not consider this project their top choice and the team ended up having a lot of issues later in the class with team dynamics and quality of work. Implementing an algorithm for team/project selection prevents the need for students to team up in full teams of twelve before the selection day, and therefore may lower the chances of having an “outlier” team.

One of the mostsustainable educational reforms to tackle this challenge is the implementation of learningcommunities. Functionally, learning communities are the structures where students with commonlearning agendas, goals and aspirations connect to share their ideas and learn from each other.Active learning, cooperation and social activities outside of a classroom setting are some of thesignificant features of learning communities.Various studies demonstrate the importance of learning communities in improving
