Department of Engineering Education at Utah State University. Lawanto holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering and a Ph.D. in human resource education. His research interests include areas in cognition, learning, instructions, engineering design, and e-learning. Currently, he is working on two research projects that investigate students’ cognitive and metacognitive activities while learning engineering. Both projects are funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Page 25.989.2 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Offsetting Gender Bias in Engineering

perspective is to use the idea of project-based learning toenhance student learning and retention of material taught in the lecture course. Together, theseperspectives will be able to help achieve the DCDS objectives which are to (1) Create laboratoryexercises for hands-on experience to enhance students’ conceptual learning; (2) Link theory-based learning to real-life applications; (3) Increase retention of technical material for futurecourses; (4) Improve laboratory skills of students; and (5) Improve student confidence andattitude about their future profession. These two perspectives and how they relate to theobjectives are explained in the following sections.2.2 Rapid Prototyping using FPGAsWilson, et al., in http://www.cudenver.edu/~bwilson

Findings suggest that students often lack resources for effectively solving teamproblems, though “high achieving” students, defined as having a self-reported GPA of 3.5 orabove, are often more proactive when dealing with slacker teammates, using strategies such assetting early deadlines or selecting teammates known also to be high achievers. However, acrossthe board, students preferred to “do nothing” when dealing with domineering or exclusionaryteammates.These findings shed light on the disproportionate burden women and under-representedminorities face in team projects and the lack of resources

Even though the creators of the SDGs recognized the need for understanding their intra-and inter-connections, limited research has been done to qualify and quantify them. For instance,the interest in the development literature since 2011 for understanding the food-energy-water(FEW) nexus (World Economic Forum 2011) requires looking at the interaction between SDGs02, 06, and 07 dealing with food, energy, and water security, respectively (Weitz et al. 2014).SDG 15 must also be included when considering the water-energy-land-food (WELF) nexus(Mohtar 2016).
