on themusical bridges and seemed to be more engaged in the project than students in previous years.And females, in particular, seemed to prefer the musical bridges over a more traditional bridgeproject. The author plans to continue to use some variation on the musical bridge project forfuture solid mechanics courses. Questions, however, remain: did students find the musical aspectof the project more engaging or would another type of interdisciplinary project be just asengaging? Did the musical bridge project result is improved learning? Were students morecreative? Did their critical thinking skills improve? Future projects will attempt to explore thesequestions and more.ReferencesBarnard, S., Hassan, T., Bagilhole, B., Dainty. A. (2012

Each team receives twoZigBee radios. Students learn to use the free software X-CTU to set up the radios for wirelesscommunication, as illustrated in Fig. 1. There are two settings to be used: One is two radiostalking exclusively to each other. In this case, the radios are configured such that the DestinationAddress High/Low (DH/DL) of one radio is the Serial Number High/Low (SH/SL) of the otherradio. The other setting is for one radio (coordinator) to communicate with multiple radios. Inthis case, the coordinator has 0 as DH and FFFF as DL, as shown in Fig. 1 (a, b).A

This rating system asked students to rate each of their teammates on seven traits:Helping, Listening, Participating, Persuading, Questioning, Respecting, and Sharing. Theseratings were based on a 4-point scale with 4 being the maximum and most positive rating. Thisteammate rubric is shown in Appendix B. Peer feedback in this work is reported at the teamlevel; the overall average for each project and the standard deviation for the team membersworking on that project are the reported variables.

Assessments of beliefs, attitudes, or interests reflect self-knowledge and aremore indicative of motivation to perform sustainable design or act sustainably, rather than ademonstrated ability to do so.Accordingly, the research questions guiding this review were:1.

Two layers of diversity attributes were identified by researchers:(a) the surface level (e.g., age, gender, race, and physical disabilities; Mannix & Neale, 2005);and (b) the deep level (e.g., cognitive ability, personality traits, values, beliefs, and attitudes;Harrison, Price, Gavin, & Florey, 2002). However, the majority of studies on team diversity havefocused solely on surface-level attributes because deep-level diversity tends to be difficult tomeasure. The present study aims to explore micro-level patterns of behavior where effects ofdeep level diversity are manifested to create a collaborative environment and attenuate
