31% to a B+ (89%). In the mid-semester evaluations for the Spring 2014course, 98% of students noted that working in a group has contributed to their understanding ofthe course material. Engineers in the workforce are constantly working with others on variousprojects. Another student explains that working in a group motivates students to stay on top oftheir work load as well as encourages them to produce higher quality work. This student states,“Working in a group allows me to work harder to guarantee that I do not let my partners down.”This accountability not only improves the students’ work ethic but also improves the way theyinteract with their peers. By exposing teamwork early in student engineering development theygain a sense of

Furthermore, an existing co-taught civilengineering/architecture design studio course was modified to focus on the Solar Decathlon. Adescription of this course is presented in subsection B.1.In addition to the above mentioned courses, a select group of the engineering students wereinvolved in the Solar Decathlon as part of their senior design projects. Specifically, the seniordesign project teams focused on: 1. designing and building the energy-management, controlsand monitoring systems, and 2. designing and putting together the mechanical and electricalaspects of the solar panels and the design of the

We propose to use the Felder-Soloman index of learning styles(ILS) survey to determine the dominant learning styles within a cohort of students. The Felder-Soloman index of learning styles survey consists of 44 multiple choice questions. The survey has11 forced-choice questions that address each scale.
