impact of our teamwork skits. As seen in Figure 4, weasked our audience what they would do if their team starts to encounter difficulty. Anecdotally,we hear from students that they do not like working on teams because they end up doing all ofthe team’s work; this is reflected in the pre-skit response of 30% of our students, who respondedthat they would simply take over the project. About 15% of the students before the skit said theywould talk to the teacher or stop working. After the skits, a full 15% more of the class said theywould call a team meeting if they noticed they were having trouble, equaling a 15% drop in thenumber of students who said they would take over the project. The number of students who said

Given its purpose to support student design interests, this facility perhapsqualifies to be called an academic makerspace but that title may not be appropriate due to aunique attribute of the facility. The MITERS workshop operates nearly independent from MIT,with the student members directing all aspects of its operation. This organizational structure ismore reflective of that found in community-based makerspaces outside of the academicenvironment.What is striking in these two examples from the same institution is their very different

This interest was expected given that the students wereenrolled in an upper-division elective course.Over the course of the three interviews, students’ responses showed low self-efficacy levels whenasked about performing various cybersecurity related tasks, with comments such as “I’m not sureI could do that” being common. Meanwhile interest levels seemed to grow, reflected in commentssuch as “That was really cool!”. For some students, self-efficacy levels decreased over the courseof the semester. Given that students admitted to having very little knowledge of cybersecurity atthe beginning of the semester, this was not totally unexpected as students became aware of

It is our hope that thiswill change during the ‘year of action on diversity’.To quantify the prevalence of diversity-related efforts in engineering education, we did akeyword search for articles that appeared in the Journal of Engineering Education (JEE) and inthe European Journal of Engineering Education (EJEE). The number of relevant articles in thesejournals will reflect the diversity-related efforts happening in the United States (JEE) and Europe(EJEE).

Through a written protocol andsubsequent analysis, specific misconceptions of emergence for drift were identified and werefound to be prevalent. Even though some misconceptions observed here reflected those that havebeen reported in the literature about emergence, relationships between the differentmisconceptions were observed.

During 2013 class offering there was more time devoted to the interactive activitiesbetween the faculty-students and students-students. This means that even less time was devotedto the theoretical material normally presented in the traditional lectures and students were"forced" to spend even more time studying. The reflection of this is the best students'performance - 83% average and 10% standard deviation in the final exam.
