Plans for integrating the BMP monitoring into other university course are alsoconsidered based on related studies as well as survey responses from stormwater practitioners.This paper addresses the following research questions: 1. How can the capstone design course objectives simultaneously meet ABET requirements while also providing students with an increased opportunity to gain experience and skills Page 24.567.2 common to stormwater practitioners? 2. How can a partnership between a university

To ourknowledge, little research has been done to synthesize the information on instruments formeasuring college students’ SB. The purpose of this review study is to comprehensively summarize information on thefeatures of existing SB measurement instruments used in higher education. This review studybegins with a comprehensive overview of the different conceptual definitions of SB and theircorresponding theoretical foundations in the context of higher education.

One section of the survey explored distance education in technical/engineeringgraphics education; as prior research suggested that changes had occurred in the instructionaltopics and practices of the field.

One factor associated with team effectiveness isteam composition [2]. Because of the increasing number of women joining the work force overthe years; the gender effect on team performance has received attention. The results of previousstudies have been conflicting because some researchers have found homogeneous teams to bemore productive, whereas others have found the opposite to be true. Moreover, a recent studyfound the gender to be an insignificant variable for its effect on the performance of productdesign teams [3].
