Much of this insight is applicable toa wide range of student projects involving collaboration with industry and research centers.Common to projects where two or more students work together, there is often a challengeinvolved in regard to equitably distributing the project tasks among students, ensuring that eachteam member is engaged, and in assessing the contribution that each student made to the aproject.

Engineers are to hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public. Those whom engineers serve deserve nothing less.

Boswell reports on a specific effort to support studentreflection during an experiential learning opportunity (an alternative spring break). Initially,Boswell’s team had planned highly structured, daily reflection activities. Over time, they learnedstudents had negative reactions to the trips’ structured reflections. Using the notion of the“structure trap” to capture the unintended consequences of over-structuring student reflection,Boswell goes on to explain how her team let go of a commitment

In this method, thecourse instructor typically collaborates with a learning scientist to document and analyze theimpact of carefully planned instruction. Each cycle provides an opportunity to evaluate how theinstruction did or did not support learning as intended. This study, therefore, builds on findingsfrom the previous two iterations.Participants & settingThe participants included 56 students in 10 teams enrolled in a sophomore-level materials andenergy balances course, a core course in the chemical engineering program at a Hispanic-servingresearch

The CPM program was crucial to my college development and has led to many other opportunities.”Likely, this is because CPMs were given opportunities to participate in teaching facultyinterviews, work with staff (e.g. IT, facilities), and provide their input on the BME design space.

Those who are more aware are able to make moreinformed decisions regarding future career plans in both academia and industry. Moreover, connectingthe course materials to the related state-of-the-art researches that are being conducted in the researchcommunity helps the students to comprehend the course fundamentals while getting familiar with thecontemporary outcomes of the concepts they have learned.

Sinceassignments are returned immediately, students can use their corrections and reflections to helpguide their exam preparations by noting areas in most need of study.
