The FYED course already introduces students to social styles, andthis information is often used in teaming. The instructional team could consider whether thisexercise could be modified to introduce other diversity characteristics and specifically addressneurodivergence and potentially mental health issues. The faculty development series forinstructors could also introduce topics related to ND and encourage faculty to integrate UDLprinciples.AppendixSurvey items to measure teamwork experiences during the semester (response options): Rate your experience on

In engineering programs, research is an excellent way ofproviding project-based learning opportunities to students while working toward meaningfulgoals that have the potential to change society for the better.In this paper, we describe the efforts of a team of undergraduate mechanical engineering studentsin creating and demonstrating an experimental silicone venous valve model and flow controlsystem for use in future scientific research aimed at ultimately reducing the impact of awidespread but often unseen disease. We describe the experimental test systems and reflect onstudent learning from this project. In order to understand on a basic level the need

cases are any indication, capitalism serves as a breeding ground for those who aspireto great wealth. “Greed is good” preaches a ruthless Gordon Gecko in the 1987 film Wall Street[71], reflecting a world view of exploitation, cheating—whatever it takes to make heaps ofmoney and feed an individual’s self-interest. Harris and Blanck certainly, and with no apparentmoral qualms, engaged in worker exploitation, as did U.S. Steel. Our own times are marked bythe emergence of the “uber-rich,” such as Elon Musk (net worth: $264 billion) and Jeff Bezos(net worth: $152 billion) [72]. While some, such as Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, liberallycontribute to social causes, others simply take the money and run.While greed is surely associated with capitalism

adjustment. Broadly speaking, students’ college success depends on two factors, i.e., students’background and their preparation at entry level, and university factors. Different types of university programstend to in take students who are different at the beginning level. The successes of the university programs maynot necessary reflect the differential impact of these programs, but simply the differences in the characteristicsof the entering students in these different programs. Therefore, if a study is to exam the success of a universityprogram, then students’ entry factors need to be partialed out as covariates.

Indeed, recentresearch makes this argument, that college engineering Capstone programs would be even moresuccessful if students were exposed to project-based learning earlier in their schooling.18Despite the ambiguity that often occurs in open-ended, project-based assignments, we learnedfrom students and our reflections that instructors should do the following to minimizeambiguities: • Provide a clear time-line of expected deliverables and due dates. • Provide grading criteria up front. • Make available numerous examples of each deliverable. • And provide regular, substantive feedback throughout the process

Further, while they may reflect some degree of progress toward desired ends, theyreflect little or no cause. Therefore, this suggests that the indicators give little information aboutcause and effect of the intended development, but represent aggregated results in a way as to notbe readily identifiable with pertinent inputs. In the search for engineering excellence in pursuit ofeconomic growth and sustainable development it is believed that indicators should containfactors that are more cause and effect related.Few direct measures of the science and engineering exist throughout the continent.

other than studyingwhile other students in other majors seem to have plenty. It was assumed that students who were willing to live this life and wanted to be anengineer had a well developed understanding or definition of engineering. When the students ofthis study were asked to reflect back and discuss these definitions we found that most studentssimply did not know what an engineer does. This is interesting because these students havestated that they wanted to be an engineer. For example, Anthony was asked what is yourdefinition of an engineer; Anthony replied, "I don't know if I really have a definition." Manystudents just don't know.
