Theprojects were not as formal or extensive as graduate level research, however the students gainedan appreciation for design of experiments. Several of the groups conducted extensive fieldexperiments including field demonstration of wave erosion protection using geotextiles (pullouttests conducted at a local beach) and investigation of water infiltration rates to different surficialsoil types around San Luis Obispo County.

A best-practice, therefore, is build more time into courses forservant-leadership projects than is typically given for conventional projects.To further place negative aquaponics miniature project comments in context, it is helpful tocompare this project against design-and-build projects selected by instructors in previousofferings of this thermodynamics course.

The design project was structured so that faculty research and pre-project prep wouldguide/facilitate the work, not dictate the final results. This working method allowed for a greatdegree of student input (far greater than any other capstone deign project), but it also meant thatstudents were operating with reserved confidence and expectations. In the end, there was a gooddegree of original/inventive design, but stereotypes of engineers and artists prevailed.

These findings are not surprising given that OLEs are highly variable in termsof accessibility, formatting, and levels of user control. While much of the literature is calling forthe development of design guidance2,5,6,7,8, there is still much to learn about best practices whenit comes to designing for optimal usability in OLEs, and it is not yet known what works best9,10.With a field that is fast paced and continually changing to meet educational needs, the researchto validate best practices has not caught up, creating the fear that “today’s best practices maysoon be embedded in antiquated technology

This includes design and project management as well as support elements such asapplications development, maintenance and test.

The SAS program targeted specific areas of concern that had been previouslyidentified by researchers, and the results were strikingly positive for those students who weresuccessful in completing the program. Even though the program implemented many of theknown best practices, there was still a large portion of students who dropped from the STEMprogram or who failed to achieve their academic goals. Some part of the attrition can beattributed to the “normal” erosion experienced by all STEM programs as students becomedisenchanted or lose interest and change to a non-STEM major.There is at least anecdotal evidence that a contributing factor to a student’s failure or success canbe attributed to their
