difficult to get along with, very shy, or skilled at forging relationshipswith others. While interpersonal obstacles are not always related to discrete work tasks, anengineer’s social skills can influence how tasks are carried out.An engineer who is particularly well connected socially can have an easier time gatheringinformation to complete a work task, particularly if s/he needs to gather backchannel informationor rely on colleagues’ candor. In one example, Hannah, a member of the Quality Team at a steelmill, needed to find out why a slab of steel was being transported back and forth between twostorage locations, especially since she had submitted written documentation weeks before tohave it taken to the scrapyard.

Finally, thesurvey questions for UGTFs focused on their interactions with students and faculty, thepreparation and communication with the instructional team, the impact of the experience ontheir own understanding and confidence in the course material, on their connection toother students and faculty in their department, and on the development of professional skills.

The module is abreakout board that contains a TFT display and an ILI9341 chip. The ILI9341 device is a TFTdriver with an integrated graphic RAM and an interface circuit 9. The ILI9341 device supportsthe 16-bit color (5-bit red, 6-bit green, and 5-bit blue). The graphic RAM constitutes the framebuffer. The external host writes the pixel data to the RAM and the LCD control circuit fetchesthe data and sets the pixel colors. ILI9341’s interface supports both serial and parallel transfers.The former is done by SPI lines and the latter is achieved by 8080-like memory access. To saveI/O pins, the

According to the rubric, this shouldautomatically drop all three students to no higher than “underachieved,” as one of the two piecesof evidence for achievement is not demonstrated. However, we can see that for students A and B,the graders assigned marks of “partially achieved” and “fully achieved.” This immediatelyindicates that the grader is either not using the rubric, does not understand the rubric, or does notcare to follow the rubric and reasonably indicates insufficient oversight (given that this

of framing an engineering problem as being composed of discretesystems, the Circle Way recognizes that the parts are not only interacting, but that the boundariesbetween them are shifting, arbitrary, and often far from clear. The Circle Way challengesparticipants to shift their orientation from a collection of individuals to a co-creating community.For instance, consider a technical project team: one typical approach would be to break down theproject into the electrical, mechanical, and software (etc.) engineering sub-projects, assign eachto the student(s) of that major, and integrate the completed parts into the whole system at thevery end.
