success or failure of aproject. The approach taken, the team size, the deliverables and their respective due dates, andthe environment are key factors which engineering managers, technical team leads, andeducators must all address to complete an assigned goal. While many courses at both the highschool and college level focus on achieving set educational outcomes, the manner by which theseoutcomes are achieved may prove difficult to select due to the dynamic nature of the classroom.From the observations of this team, high school and university project deliverables andeducational expectations are commonly, and sufficiently, satisfied by a small team ofindividuals, and thus it is the focus of this paper to discuss the group dynamics and structure

However, it took one team twice asmuch time to generate the same data as the other team. Team 2, that had regular meetings withthe advisor, generated the results shown in Fig. 2 in one academic term. Conversely, team 1, thatdid not have regular meetings with the advisor, took two academic terms to generate similarresults. Although team 2 had to spend more time to regularly meet and report to the advisor, theoverall time that they spent on the project was reduced significantly. In fact, the performance ofthe undergraduate research team was increased 50% with regular

In an effort to overcome these challenges, an ad hoc teamwas formed at California State University, Chico with representatives from all seven colleges.Three main pillars of innovation were identified (1) an entrepreneurial learning experience, (2)an on-campus makerspace, and (3) community outreach and engagement. This paper focuses onthe design, implementation, and success of the on-campus makerspace and as well as the lessonslearned and areas for improvement.

The jointly developed value proposition captures the motivation:“Engineers competent in both systematic and systemic approaches are better able to delivercomplex and interconnected components / systems with predictable performance on schedule,quality, cost, and alignment within a dynamic, uncertain system of systems environment.” Fourkey areas of systems knowledge that all engineers need, were also identified: 1) Systems Scienceand Fundamentals, 2) Systems Thinking, 3) Design and Analysis, and 4) Technical and ProjectManagement.No convincing evidence could be gathered of examples where some level of systems engineeringeducation is required for

REU program evaluation data can offer valuable insights into student learning, but thesedata are rarely analyzed with regards to research questions. Typically, they are used for theevaluation and then discarded. This is a missed opportunity. The NSF requires REU programs toevaluate how well they achieve their goals [3].

At______ University, students are required to take three general writing (or speaking) courses. Asargued by the English Department, Writing as an Engineer does not meet the first tworequirements of such a course: (1) demonstrate rhetorical and analytical skills as they [thestudents] explore, compose, interpret, and present a variety of texts; and (2) communicateeffectively and persuasively to a range of audiences.

To investigate these components of thelearning process in engineering, we collected self-report measures of achievement goalorientation (motivation), general self-efficacy (motivation), and motivated strategies for learning(SRL) for 146 undergraduate engineering students in Thermodynamics.To better understand (1) the interconnected nature of these constructs for students and (2) theself-regulatory and motivational profiles of
