leadership laboratory where cadets take onleadership positions within their own body, the Corps of Cadets, and in so doing develop eachother. Our sixth domain is directly relevant to cadets, rounding out our time comparison linkages.Establishing Worksheets for Study Period. We selected a mid-semester period of five weeks tocollect data over, which would ensure cadets were not still adapting to their schedules or preparingfor the end of their semester during the study but simply in the middle of a semester’s rhythm. 7Call for Participants. We queried over 100 cadets and faculty with our updated spreadsheet(faculty version and cadet version). These cadets and faculty represent a diverse set of majors
during thesemester been asked to work in teams either on a project or a laboratory, research or learn somematerial on their own, and communicate findings in writing and/or orally. Students had beengiven formative feedback on these tasks, and neither instructors nor students felt they were ill-prepared to tackle the final exam task.Overall, instructors were pleased with the lower stress level of the students going into this typeof final, as well as the energy, excitement, and collaboration in the classroom. One instructorstates:I have never seen so much focus and energy in the classroom. It was wonderful. It truly was acelebration of learning. It was rewarding to see the students work together and help one another.Also, instructors took joy in

researchcollaborations with faculty at other institutions, and I stopped collaborating with faculty in myhome department of civil/environmental engineering. Juggling two research areas(environmental engineering and engineering education) was stressful. After narrowly beingawarded promotion to full professor despite having “two glasses half full” I finally receivedadvice from our (new) civil engineering department chair to follow my passion. So, I fullycommitted myself to educational research. I gave up my laboratory space. I have at timesstruggled with my new identity - I was once the skilled environmental engineering labresearcher. No longer.I have been on a journey to learn ‘how people learn’ and how to conduct educational research. Ilove learning new things
Paper ID #32428Creating an Inclusive Engineering Student Culture Through Diverse Teams:Instructor-led and Student-led ApproachesDr. Heather Dillon, University of Washington Tacoma Dr. Heather Dillon is Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington Tacoma. Her research team is working on energy efficiency, renewable energy, fundamental heat transfer, and engineering education. Before joining academia, Heather Dillon worked for the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) as a senior research engineer.Dr. Tammy VanDeGrift, University of Portland Dr. Tammy VanDeGrift is a Professor of
Engineering Sustainable Systems Program. He is Chief Science Officer of Fusion Coolant Systems. Professor Skerlos has gained national recognition and press for his research and teaching in the fields of technology policy and sustainable design. He has co-founded two successful start-up companies (Accuri Cytometers and Fusion Coolant Systems), co-founded BLUElab, served as Director of the Graduate Pro- gram in Mechanical Engineering (2009-2012), and served as associate and guest editor for four different academic journals. His Ph.D. students in the Environmental and Sustainable Technologies Laboratory have addressed sus- tainability challenges in the fields of systems design, technology selection, manufacturing, and water
