This theme requirement was in-spired by the curriculum ThreadsTM requirements employed by the College of Computing atthe Georgia Institute of Technology.7New Infrastructure Course(s)One goal of the revised curriculum is to create a new course (or series of courses) that intro-duces students to the infrastructure. The goals of the Introduction to Infrastructure class(es)and associated topics are shown below. Introduce students to civil engineering (including the history of civil engineering, the role of the civil engineer in society, and the concept of the infrastructure). • Field trips • Lab experiences • Field

. This challenge will continue since the program does nothave flexibility particularly in terms of increasing incentives such as stipend to be morecompetitive.Demanding nature and timeframe of the program: Since student researchers are involved in theprojects from conception to final delivery, the program is more demanding than other researchopportunities in which research ideas, hypotheses, or even literature review sometimes arealready available to the students. Student researchers also have to write a proposal and report(s)and prepare poster and/or PowerPoint presentations. The academic year timeframe of theprogram makes it difficult for students to manage between classes and research. The most twocommon reasons for students for not

based on scheduling of the co-author of this paper, time constraints onour study existed. While interviews would have provided a deeper look at students’ views ofengineering, the time for interviews was not available. Another limitation in the consistency ofthe data was the fact that many of the students were English Language Learners or below gradelevel. Many discrepancies involving vocabulary in Questions 1-3 may be the result of a lack ofwriting ability or vocabulary. For future work, vocabulary, writing, and reading will have greaterinfluence during the units.References[1] Cerinsek, G., Hribar, T., Glodez, N., and Dolinsek, S. “Which are my future career priorities and what influenced my choice of studying science, technology

Teameffectiveness emerges when the interaction process enables those unique qualities to blend into awhole, with each member engaged. However, few teams have the skills or process habits thatenable a high level of blending to occur. Therefore, this study’s focus is to identify themicro-level patterns of behavior (habits) in student teams that enable full realization of the valueof member diversity.Diversity is commonly defined as a characteristic of groups of two or more people and usuallyindicates demographic differences among group members.
