In addition, hands-on applied teamwork exerciseshave been shown to benefit all students and female students in particular [6]. Collaborativeenvironments also prepare students for work in the industry, where companies expect employeesto work well with others and to communicate with other members of their professional teams andteams in other departments. We, as educators, sought to design authentic cross-class groupexperiences to help students practice working in teams and experience the relationship of twoclosely connected but distinct fields of computer science.

collaborationsAbstractCivil engineers play a significant role in designing, constructing, and maintaining systems.Concepts of sustainability are critical components to civil engineers’ education. Professors at theUniversity of Pittsburgh (UPitt) and Arizona State University (ASU) have collaborated tointegrate sustainability into the Civil Engineering curriculum in two manners; first, via targetsustainability units and/or labs that are integrated into traditional courses and second, via thecreation of new courses whose foci are on sustainability. We present and discuss thedevelopment and value in understanding student perceptions of sustainability through twosustainability labs, Infrared Thermography (IRT) Energy Audit Lab and Sustainable MaterialsDesign Lab, and

ResearchersAbstractThe future of engineering education research will depend on collaborations among educators,researchers, and students. Participation in research collaborations helps graduate students withinthe engineering education community gain an understanding of the challenges of such endeavorsas well as various ways of overcoming those challenges. Over the course of their program,engineering education graduate students will collaborate with a variety of people, includingfaculty members, members of industry, and, in some cases, their fellow students. Researchcollaborations among graduate students provide a means to diversify interests, develop researchskills, build relationships, and advance engineering education research.The purpose of this study was to
