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

harsh criticism that needs to be explored as we continue to explorethe data and collect more responses is the perception of recruitment fallout. Numerous facultyexplored the possible recruitment advantages of disadvantages the FYE courses have introducedinto the college. Among some faculty, the FYE courses appear to have an electrical andcomputer engineering focus, possibly due to the Matlab programming requirements andextensive use of Arduino microcontroller technology throughout the project components of thecourse. While the curriculum has been crafted given input from all departments and hasexplicitly included elements from departments that may feel more disadvantaged by the choiceof programming elements, the long-term effects on enrollment

This change will enable students to customize theireducation to fit program requirements and student interests, thus controlling the breadth and depth oftheir intellectual development. One-credit modules also create flexibility that will enable faculty to quicklydeploy new content in response to emerging trends, further increasing students' ability to tackle relevantchallenges immediately after graduating.

It is amore interesting approach and can be implemented to the degree needed in each schoolaccording to local industry requirements.If it were possible to create a curriculum from scratch for today’s technician, the top downapproach would certainly be a major alternative.

Education, 2023 Closing the Gap between Industry and Academia via Student Teams SupportAbstractA well-known challenge in engineering education is the attempt to balance the demands of industryrecruitment with the core needs of an already packed engineering curriculum. Due to timeconstraints, real-world examples and other learning opportunities that aim to develop andconsolidate the industry-desirable skills can be difficult to include in the curriculum. One way toaddress this challenge is to collaborate with industry (for example, on capstone projects, studentteam challenges, etc.) while the students are still studying. A place for these collaborations, whichcan provide benefit for both parties, is through student competitions. Student
