graduatewhen structured properly (Rassati et al. 2010; Solnosky et al. 2014). With regard to team situations in the classroom, most degree programs (teaching building en-gineering) are working to adopt more opportunities to develop team assignments, projects, andopportunities. These opportunities are often less than ideally constructed due to relatively few fac-ulty members being trained, or they have no similar industry experience necessary to guide studentteams. Such faculty often are unaware of the nuances that the teams must go through based onassignment structures (the major exception is faculty with significant industry experience) (­Hannahand Venkatachary 2010). Consequently, only a surface level understanding of their value on thestudents

technology use, socio-technical factors can motivate collaboration in unique andunanticipated ways (Dougherty, 1993; Suchman,1987; Leonardi, 2011). For example, physicaltools and technology infrastructures such as simulation software, complex hardware equipment,etc., not only facilitate work but are indispensable to work and often motivate collaborativeproblem solving and learning in intense ways that use of auxiliary technologies such as email,video conferencing etc., rarely do. In order for such technologies to work, teams need toestablish substantial software and hardware infrastructure that supports them (Star, 2010):internet cabling, special electrical wiring, soldering tools, safety equipment etc. are a fewexamples.

Data wascollected from two groups of students who participated in this creativity course and completedtwo peer teaching activities. Each student taught a 15-minute lesson to a group of peers,submitted a detailed lesson plan, and wrote self- and peer-assessments after class. These lessonsincluded both content sharing (i.e., presentation about the topic) as well as an activity and a finalassessment tool to ensure that their peers had met the student-defined learning

In a typical technology classroom, a student may beexposed to the following sources of information: instructor slides, instructor voice, computer,phone – the latter two capable of supporting several streams of information each. No externaltechnology or agency can manage an individual’s attention across so many distributed stimuli.All solutions discussed so far suffer from the same limitation: They attempt to controlattention externally instead of empowering individuals to manage their own attention.

Engineering Concepts and Development of Green EngineeringProblems The chemical engineering undergraduate program at Manhattan College revolves arounda design oriented curriculum and as a result, the idea of incorporating green engineering conceptsinto a heat transfer course that has a particularly strong emphasis on design seemed difficult – atfirst. The course is offered during the fall semester of the junior year and one of its primary goalsof the course is to prepare the students for a one-year plant design course in the student’s senioryear. As previously stated, typical design elements included the calculation of convective andoverall heat transfer coefficients as well as the design of a variety of heat exchangers.
