the design process is critical for design projects that haveaspirations for social change.9 Basically, process documentation enables a team to reflect,analyze, and improve the ongoing project. “Documentation … supports the process itself … andlooks at the change of the process through the eyes of those involved in it”.9 Thus, without gooddocumentation, the design process and project sustainability could be compromised.The focus of this paper outlines a recently implemented project documentation strategyassociated with the GEO course and implementation trip to help strengthen project sustainability.The documentation strategy focuses mainly on the sustainability pillar of social inclusion andimplements several of the nine principles by

Students are still ableto participate in any number of co-curricular organizations such as Habitat for Humanity or theuniversity program, Steppin’ Out, which promotes student involvement in community service andseeks to provide opportunities for experiential learning, civic leadership, and social responsibility.On campus, Baylor University has service sororities and fraternities which require service of itsmembers.

their overall course performance. [3]For STEM students, particularly female students, self-efficacy – defined as a student’s belief inhis or her own ability to achieve academic success – is one of the greatest predictors of successin academic coursework. Female students, in general, rate themselves with lower self-efficacy inengineering coursework, even when they are, in actuality, achieving the same or better gradesthan their male counterparts. [7] According to previous research, there are a variety of factorsthat influence student self-efficacy and academic self-confidence, including perceived lecturerdistance and intimidation. [8] Greater perceived faculty distance reflects a colder, detached, andmore impersonal teaching style, which affects

Below we suggest a few possible explanations that could explain ourresults.In the faculty member’s reflection of the flipped classroom experience, it was noted that thispedagogical model more resembled that of a lab similar to one where a first year faculty memberhas just emerged from a multi-year research project. In many research labs it is common forsenior students to mentor and train the junior lab members. In that sense, working with smallergroups during instruction time did not seem foreign to the faculty member and put both thefaculty and students more at
