The data on teamwork and communication is augmented with and comparedto Slack data.Timeline: Table 1 gives a list of codes for the time-line illustrated in Fig. 1. The time-line listswhen questionnaires were administered, when the ME students had exams, when there wereinterprofessional meetings, and when deliverables were assigned or submitted. Additionally,since two of the ME students were part of a school athletics team, the time-line also lists athleticevents that required travel as well as the end of the season.

Afterward, optionally follow up this Notes 1-2 min activity with a short Q&A session based on any confusing points. End class 2 minutes early and ask students to write down Minute Paper (anonymously or not) the main point of today's class, and/or the / Muddiest most pressing question or confusing point from today's class. Begin Point 1-2 min the next class by addressing any common questions
can enhance students’engagement and develop their process of learning. However, there is a lack of well-organizedguidelines (Azmi et al., 2015).In one study, Ibanez et al. (2014) developed a Q-learning game platform to investigate the effectsof gamification on a learning activity targeted at basic concepts of C programming language toundergraduate students. According to the mixed-methods study, gamified learning activities had asignificant positive impact on the students’ engagement and improved their academicperformance. Game elements such as badges, points, leaderboard, and altruism were inserted intothis game platform. Students reported that points were the most motivating element to participatein activities. However, the authors indicated
[company name], in terms of actual technical work, was like a 30 second - oh, not 30 second - but it was like 30 minute, very short, design of a little Excel sheet to calculate heat recovered from a water stream using Q equals mcp delta t, which you learned like in high school. Like, its just literally multiplying numbers together, no integration, super simple, um, and yeah, that was the most serious thing I did. And I was astounded at the time, I was so surprised.Later in the conversation, Andrew expands on the main challenges that he actually did faceduring his internships, characterizing them as “cultural.” While we return to this theme below indiscussing the sociotechnical character of Andrew’s work, here it is
experiment with actual experimental results. 3. Demonstrate the beginnings of professional practice: a. Effectively communicate in written form the design, completion, and analysis of experiments to answer open-ended questions. b. Effectively communicate by oral presentation and Q-and-A session the design, completion, and analysis of experiments to answer open-ended questions.We have assessed these objectives with both direct and indirect measures since the beginning ofthe course. A full discussion of the objectives, assessment, and changes to the course far exceedsthe scope of this paper. For this paper we are focused on Objectives 1b (data acquisition), 2a(design & complete experiments), and 2c (compare

like a surprise to me that it was kind of like that. I was excited for the class. But what I saw that really what I was spending my time on was just trial and error and making things work. If we had time to like pull apart the fan and be like oh look there's the gear that actually makes the Q run. Or like there's the point that like sends the signal, um. I don't. It doesn't give me any negative connotation on engineering whatsoever.

person who opens the workshop with an introductionof the topic and speaker(s), assists with Q&A by acknowledging participants’ departments, andcloses the session. The facilitator also meets the students, and actively promotes introductionsamong the students to increase opportunities for networking. Activities are also widelyadvertised on social media platforms.Seminars which have worked well for UMBC, UMCP, and UMB through the PROMISESummer Success Institute (SSI),2 which also attract underrepresented students, internationalstudents, and majority students from multiple disciplines, often serve students at a variety oflevels, e.g., first year, M.S. thesis year, Ph.D. candidate. Some of the most popular PROMISEAGEP SSI workshops include the
