Overall response rate in the firstwave of the survey was 100% in the Supply Management Class and 68% in the Principles ofMarketing class. In the second wave of the survey, the response rate in the Supply Managementclass was 85% and in the Principles of Marketing class 72%. The observed response rates werereasonably high for
process that involves participatory practice (Emam et al.2019). It requires teams of individuals working together to achieve a singular vision and a predefined setof goals (Crosbie 1995). In a learning environment, students and faculty need to cooperate to achievecommon goals in a highly collaborative nature consistent with the industry the designed building will serve(Daniels 2002). To equip students with the skills for interdisciplinary collaboration, many accreditingboards of different disciplines require collaboration as a learning criterion, although they do not dictatewhich disciplines should collaborate or in what setting (e.g., studio, seminar or lecture) collaboration shouldbe achieved (ABET 2019; NAAB 2020). Although the Landscape

With other priorities demanding student andfaculty time, realizing interaction between industry experts and students in design courses may ormay not be achievable. Research to understand the value of expert interactions may informeducators as to the pedagogical value and provide support for including these activities in designcourses.In this paper, the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Design Competition wasselected for three reasons: 1) interaction with experts is part of the competition requirements, 2)winning design proposal packages are available on a website for the ACRP Design Competition[1], and 3) the authors have participated in the

Literature ReviewDespite nationwide efforts over the last 30 years, the participation of women and marginalizedstudents in engineering and CS has increased only slightly [3]. Scholarship on underrepresentedminority students in STEM gives us insights into their experiences, challenges they face, andpotential ways of increasing their representation and improving their persistence.Following a review of literature that explores challenges that women experience when pursuingcareer in the sciences, White and Massiha discuss several general retention theories, propose aconceptual framework for persistence, and raise a number of possible research questions [4].Blackburn performs a thematic review of the literature
, including grades in pastclasses or overall GPA. Predictive performance can be used to create teams with students ofsimilar GPAs or scores from prior semesters. Teams are formed by ranking students based onacademic performance and the grouping the top students in the first team, then the next groupingin the second team, and so on[3]. Teams can also be formed randomly, with student teams beingbuilt off random selection from the student list for the course[4]. Finally, teams can be formed byself-selection, in which students form their own teams without guidance from an instructor[5][4].It is important to understand the links between team performance and individualperformance/experience as well as design project success.

Dr. Larkin conducts ed- ucational research and has published widely on topics related to the assessment of student learning in introductory physics and engineering courses. Noteworthy is her work with student writing as a learning and assessment tool in her introductory physics courses for non-majors. One component of her research focuses on the role

However, renewable energy has a great potential for multi-disciplinary projects,both at undergraduate and graduate levels. Such projects can involve electrical, mechanical,civil, and chemical engineering aspects while still being accessible to undergraduate students.Design and development of renewable energy projects allow students to work on projects thatcan be relevant to current leading edge research and technologies. The development, content andstructure of an alternative energy course as part of this effort to embed renewable energy into ourcurriculum are also presented. Course motivation is outlined and a detailed description of thetopics

100After the full text appraisal, the 36 results were classified according to six emergent categories by their keyfocus, as summarized in Table 6. The most common focus of papers on capstone projects was related to thestructure and experience of one specific capstone project, which implied that only well-designed projects werepossibly effective in accomplishing multidisciplinary engineering education. Particularly, there was also atendency to introduce system engineering in other engineering fields to contribute to a more reasonable designof multidisciplinary capstone projects [11-14]. However, only a few articles cast insights on assessment orproject work or student learning, suggesting a need for further research to identify which kinds

This paper highlights recent researchon women EE faculty members at four-year research institutions for those who have an interestin studying women faculty in academic settings. This qualitative study found that women EEfaculty members face an alienating, isolated and sometimes hostile work environments. Thesefindings were evident in work processes such as collaboration, networking and mentoring whichwomen EE faculty members faced explicit and implicit bias. Nearly all women EE facultymembers experienced emotional harassment while a third experienced physical or sexualharassment in the department or with the promotion and tenure process.

] analyzed the “low-choice culture” of engineering curricula, particularly incontrast to other fields of study. In the context of new research demonstrating the value of selfdetermination or autonomy for students in motivating learning, enhancing self-efficacy, andsupporting persistence, the relative inflexibility of engineering curricula stood out starkly. Withinindividual courses, studies have shown the “power of choice” to positively influence studentoutcomes, for example, when students may choose from among a menu of design projects[45, 46], and recommendations have been made for the design of self-determination supportiveengineering-student learning experiences [47, 48].

These percentages remained far below the graduation rates for males.Additionally, 15% of women never enter the engineering workforce resulting in a larger gendergap [3], [16].
