We also note that ouraccess at DTU was also limited by a recent, controversial decision on the part of one of thePROCEED co-investigators to relocate from DTU to Aalborg University. We believe ourfindings to be of significant interest to engineering educators in the United States. While the fullfindings of our study will be released in an edited volume produced by the PROCEED project, asummary of our findings is presented here for the ASEE audience.

Previous research haslinked musical preference to personality and values, both of which correlate to social identity,and to a lesser extent, academic study habits. Pierre Bourdieu's landmark text La Distinction alsoasserts that social class influences judgments of taste and choices in cultural activities.Researchers have also used markers such as genre taste as a cultural indicator, focusing on"high" arts, such as classical music, ballet, and art museums as measures of culture.1

the distinction between collaborative learning on the one hand and cooperativelearning on the other (see, e.g., Olivares 2 ). Cooperative learning is group learning whose main goal is for everymember of the group to learn 3,4 . Our focus is on this type of learning. By contrast, the goal of collaborative learningis for the group to work together to solve a problem, complete a project, etc.; ensuring that each individual memberof the group learns some particular item of knowledge is secondary. We should also add that not all authors use thesedefinitions of cooperative and collaborative learning with some authors conflating the two and others interchangingthe two terms 5,2 .
