Thestudents were also assigned a problem set that required application of chemistry to solveproblems related to the Flint Water Crisis (Appendix A). Problem sets were completed in pre-assigned groups. In addition, a writing assignment developed with input from the UW WritingCenter (Appendix B) was completed by all students. A timeline of all of the activitiesimplemented for the Flint Water Crisis case study and related assessments is provided (Fig 1).Table 2: Additional proposed learning outcomes, assessments, and activities.

Althoughthe MSLQ scales have been extensively tested in different subject-matter contexts inengineering, this study aims to examine the MSLQ constructs and factor structures in a novelengineering educational setting. This paper validated three MSLQ subscales in an “ABC” learning environment forengineering dynamics: (A) Active learning, (B) blended structures, (C) and collaborative studentengagement that have shown to be highly influential for university-level engineering students.This unique class environment exhibits several features that make it a new and

Based on these contemporary instructional practices inengineering, new understandings of a) how engineering students interact with peers and usecourse-specific resources and b) how peer interactions and resource use correlate with courseperformance are essential for supporting engineering instructor decisions as they select anddesign course resources, develop group work activities, and implement new interaction strategiesin engineering courses.To investigate potential relationships, we employed Social Network Analysis (SNA
