students the benefit of my explanations, I opened a Q & A page on mywebsite. This worked so well that other students not in my tutorials (and tutors) would browseand ask additional questions by email, and I would respond to them also through the website. But Group-B had problems with the content. They understood and appreciated virtue ethicsfully, because it was rooted in morality based on religion and traditional social norms. There wasnear-unanimity on such issues as truthfulness, hard work, kindness, etc. Most of the Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments were reflected almost identically in the Koran, and paralleledBuddha's Eight-Fold path, and teachings of the Hindu Bhagavath Geetha. Even agnosticphilosophers Kant, Confucius and Laozi echoed

to dig deeper into the science topic and clear my concepts by asking anumber of questions during the Q/A sessions with the students from various science fields.”).Furthermore, students found that they got inspired and motivated when they worked andlearned in a diverse team (e.g., “I discover more aspects that I am not familiar with when Iinteract with non-engineering specialists. This has provoked me to learn deeper and wider. Ithink that is crucial in university learning, as well as lifelong learning.”).Teamwork skills. The cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural setting in this program creates aunique opportunity for students to learn and practice teamwork skills.

Before placing the HMDs on theparticipants’ head the authors ensured that the interactive simulation was at the start screen (seeFigure 5). After testing and any Q&A, participants used their own mobile devices to scan a QRcode provided by the researchers, which delivered an electronic version of the SUS (see Figure7). Questions needed for descriptive statistics were asked prior to the 10 SUS items (see Figure 8and see Figure 9). 6 Figure 2. Visual Device Figure 6. Egocentric View of Interactive

Topics covered during thepresentation include their choice of functional units and system boundaries as well as anindication of databases and other sources for estimation of life cycle inventory and impacts. Thefeedback received from the instructor and peers during and after the presentation helped studentsto make the necessary changes to their project. Thus, the presentation served as a midtermformative assessment of their project.Student ProductsSince the project is the organizing principle of the course the discussion on student products willbe confined to project details.

A recruiting flyer wascreated and distributed to the classes at the four participating schools via STEM-Inc teacherparticipants when the school year started. In addition, the recruiting flyer and applicationpackages were always available at the school front offices during STEM-Inc enrollment period.Furthermore, a STEM-Inc open house and live engineering/computer science projectdemonstrations with Q&A session was held at each one of the four schools, mostly during thelunch hours in September for recruiting students.

Description of StudyThe author’s ChE program offers two required unit operations laboratory courses to its students:a four credit hour junior unit operations course (CHE 330) requiring three technical oralpresentations, as well as a two credit hour senior unit operations course (CHE 331) requiringthree technical oral presentations. In both courses, student presentations are scheduled to last for20 minutes (10-20 slides) followed by a 10 minute Q&A session with questions asked by theinstructor and fellow students enrolled in the section.
