the design process is critical for design projects that haveaspirations for social change.9 Basically, process documentation enables a team to reflect,analyze, and improve the ongoing project. “Documentation … supports the process itself … andlooks at the change of the process through the eyes of those involved in it”.9 Thus, without gooddocumentation, the design process and project sustainability could be compromised.The focus of this paper outlines a recently implemented project documentation strategyassociated with the GEO course and implementation trip to help strengthen project sustainability.The documentation strategy focuses mainly on the sustainability pillar of social inclusion andimplements several of the nine principles by

their overall course performance. [3]For STEM students, particularly female students, self-efficacy – defined as a student’s belief inhis or her own ability to achieve academic success – is one of the greatest predictors of successin academic coursework. Female students, in general, rate themselves with lower self-efficacy inengineering coursework, even when they are, in actuality, achieving the same or better gradesthan their male counterparts. [7] According to previous research, there are a variety of factorsthat influence student self-efficacy and academic self-confidence, including perceived lecturerdistance and intimidation. [8] Greater perceived faculty distance reflects a colder, detached, andmore impersonal teaching style, which affects

changes in teaching and learning have transformed the foundationof education. Over time, the role of the teacher has evolved, from the transmitter of knowledge(traditional education) to facilitator [1]–[3]. Dewey [4] argued that people learn by doing,students should be exposed to experiential activities that promote reflection. Students are nowplaced in the center playing the main role as they are the ones who actively construct their ownknowledge through the tools that the teacher provides and social interactions [5].Active learning has been defined in different ways, Bonwell & Eison [6] provided a practicaldefinition as "any activity that involves students doing things and thinking about what they aredoing."

thatstudents’ self-assessments are not accurate, often reflecting over-confidence (e.g., Kruger &Dunning, 1999 [27]).One challenge in data analysis was that fewer students completed the post-test (16) than the pre-test (36), likely because the participation in the survey was voluntary and the post-test came at atime when students were finishing high-stakes final projects. So, in addition to enhancing thecase study materials and refining the STSS instrument, future work will also include exploringways to better incentivize students to complete both the pre- and post-test.Finally, it is possible that the STSS results could be somewhat skewed by the fact that, unlikemost other universities, students at CMU have two capstone experiences to choose
