The first phase, during the fall 2016 semester, wouldinclude developing, printing and posting flyers (see Appendix B) around campus and offeringadditional workshops on new topics.

The MMET 207 lab size was held at a maximum of 16, regardless of semester offering,since this was restricted by physical lab space. It is conjectured that the different class sizes andthe resulting teacher-to-student ratio, and hence the individual attention that could be afforded toeach student could have had an impact on student perception of the topic/instructor and the classin general (and potentially performance) as well, as was reflected in the research.

These show a strong majority of studentspreferring to work at the board, and noting the greater opportunity for collaboration that thismethod afforded.ConclusionThe value of group work at the board - for promoting collaboration, effectively reaching asolution with limited time, and learning something new – has been demonstrated here. However,it is important to take into account the diversity of student learning styles in a classroom, andpromote facilitation methods to engage, inspire, and accommodate the strengths of both activeand reflective learners (Felder and Silverman, 1988). While active group engagement is a centralgoal of the workshops, many students will gain

The scale of theprojects emerging ranged from a system mounted to a door in an apartment, to an indoor/outdoor systemthat would meet 100% of the vegetable needs of a Midwest American family, to a mass scale vertical ricefarm, and an orange tree farm in California.

For example, in cases where we might assign a student to a projectinvolving multidisciplinary participation, some students may find it difficult to appreciate theirparticular role on a project. We find that project preferences may be a factor during the initialweeks of the semester when students are becoming acquainted with a project, however, a studyof end-of-semester reflective memos indicates that as a project progresses, other factors, beyondinitial project preferences provide much of the motivation needed for team effectiveness andsuccess [15].

Another formof evaluation that differs from quantitative questionnaires is the one suggested by Shuman et al.(2004). He provided a guideline for evaluating the responses to analysis of a case study6.
