The outcome for the first meeting was for each group to brainstorm ideasfor their exhibit and to develop an initial concept idea. The second meeting was to present theoverall project concept. The third meeting was to review the preliminary CAD for the project.The fourth and final meeting was to review all of the components of the project. The authorsconsidered each of these meetings as a milestone towards the execution of the project, and eachmilestone was accompanied by a design review, which will be discussed below.

For thisstudy, only the team member contribution scores for the final design journal and final teampresentation were collected from the surveys. CATME surveys yield numerical data based on thevarious levels of interaction between team members on a scale of 1 to 5 where high qualityinteractions receive a score of 5, intermediate interactions receive a 3 and poor interactionsreceive a 1. The CATME interface asks students to rate themselves and their peers by selectingone of five behavioral descriptions per metric pre-selected by the instructor.

Previous studies by Cavalli et al.1 in arequired junior level materials science course (also taught to both on-campus and distancesections) indicated distance students, who are often working professionals, tended tounderestimate their mastery of the material as represented by posttest performance. In contrast,on-campus students tended to overestimate their understanding of the course topics. Distancestudents attributed a higher value to recorded lectures and homework assignments with regardsto aiding their understanding and on-campus students valued in-class discussions.

After this, we delineate aresearch-based framework that can be used to develop and conduct complex systems research andevaluation. We identify two areas within the field of engineering education where complex systemsresearch can be useful: 1) educational research focused on student interaction and cognition and 2)assessment and evaluation of collaboratives such as grant funded projects and communication/publication networks.
