Diverse engineers are presumed incapable and pitted against “real engineers.”Yet ABET’s new requirements for diverse teaming reflect the reality that if our students don’tget basic training in power relations across categories like race, gender, class, ability, sexualorientation, gender identity, nationality, immigrant status, and veteran status, they

We did not have any means to triangulate thecollected data.

Further study is needed to determine how much of this is reflective of the skillsdevelopment in the classes versus students being more discerning in their responses afterspending a year in the program.

The second development stagereferenced by Piaget is visualizing objects in three-dimensional forms and being able to perceivethese objects from different dimensions via mental rotation. Students typically acquire this skill byadolescence for objects they are familiar with [24]. He cautions, however, that if the object is notfamiliar, students may have difficulty in visualizing the object even while in college. Piagetclassified projection skills as the third stage, where students can visualize different measurementsand combine them such as distance, rotation, volume, translation, and reflection [24].Theoretical PerspectiveThis study evaluates the literature through the lens of a social

Bringing students into the thought process required totake on these new responsibilities may be easier if the overall structure for problem-solving isconsistent in a curriculum. In third year, emphasis in instruction should be placed on thefollowing elements: • Data and Assumptions — Decide on relevant assumptions and data sources; • Solution procedure — Identify the best solution method (numerical or analytical); and, • Extension — Understand potential problem variations (impact of assumptions on solution procesure)..The Concept Map for Fourth-year Courses A large

Overall, the grades reflected similar outcomes to theexams where students in the mixed section outperformed students in both the flipped andtraditional sections. This indicates that, despite some promise shown in the flipped coursesection, students in that section were still not able to achieve at the same level as their peers inthe mixed-delivery class. The reason for this outcome answer may be due to the reinforcement ofideas provided by the combination of lecture and video in the mixed section (described in moredetail below) as well as the difficulty students and faculty experience with transitioning to aflipped classroom model.As noted in the literature

This segmentation was driven by increasingly complextechnologies in each of these service delivery domains. While in smaller organizations these siloed arereflected in domains of expertise mastered by members of the staff, in medium and large organizations,5IT organizational charts identify specific teams for each of the domains mentioned. This segmentation isnaturally reflected in the skills developed by respective teams, the operating processes they develop, andthe tools used to manage the scope of the
