Enrollment at the end of the first semesterwas encouraging, with little attrition and actually a net gain of 3 female students.Initial data on recruitment of our second cohort suggests a class similar to (althoughperhaps larger) than the initial cohort in terms of gender and breakdown byconcentration. We will continue to track retention of students and diversity throughgraduation. Student feedback, additional data analysis and additional recruitingefforts will continue to help us shape and improve the diversity of our student body.Future work could include an examination of curricular design, particularly studentexposure to hands-on activities in the makerspace and fabrication laboratory in thefirst year, and its impact on

Client projects may include donations from sponsoring industries; projects thatinvolve building and testing require laboratory and machining facilities; and teams often haveindividual faculty and professional mentors, requiring substantial personnel time.

metacognitive constructs assessed arelimited to those few that are easily attributable (Van Hout-Wolters, 2000).An additional challenge with all of the methods described herein is that such assessments formetacognition are generally for research purposes and in many cases are conducted inmanufactured laboratory settings and on inauthentic problems. While helpful for developing ourunderstanding of metacognition, its function, and its development, we need assessments that aidthe metacognitive development of our students. While we have grounded our metacognitiveindicators and their interpretations in current metacognitive assessment literature and practice,the indicators are designed specifically for aiding instructor judgements of student artifacts

All groups were initially given one set of material testing datahowever, students were permitted to purchase laboratory time to conduct further strength tests,reducing the standard deviation of the various material properties. Rehabilitation costs for thebridge were based on anticipated materials and labour, which was assumed to be 60% of thematerial costs. Annual costs were also assessed to account for standard operations andmaintenance.The primary contribution that the Structure and Properties of Materials course offered to the IDPwas the understanding of the behaviour, strengths and weaknesses of the materials permitted forconstruction.
