We are integrating knowledge, concepts, and results from our past and ongoing ITSresearch into existing and new courses in the University's College of Engineering, primarily in theTransportation Program of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, in order to preparestudents at the undergraduate degree level to help plan

The specific aims of this program are to: • Teach undergraduate engineering students to incorporate sustainability as a design constraint. • Teach engineering undergraduates to work as part of an international design team, progressing from initial reliance on faculty and graduate student advisors to reliance on team members over the course of the program. • Teach undergraduate engineers to function on cross-cultural design teams and in a different cultural environment.

underlying network structure, with mutually causal relationships amongsystem components that produce emergent patterns at a higher level of analysis (Mitchell, 2009). Thenetwork structure implies self-organizing properties, meaning there is little centralized control and systemhomeostasis is produced through bottom-up interaction of system components (Dale, et al., 2014). Thecomplexity of a system, which is often measured as a balance between ordered and random interaction ofsystem micro components, is the necessary condition for the dynamic emergence of self-organization atthe macro level (Mitchell, 2009). Complex systems research is focused on the processes of stability andchange in a system, the critical values and initial conditions that lead to

After an undergraduate research experience students should be prepared andmotivated to pursue careers in science and engineering. A critical component of an effectiveprogram is the cultivation of a positive and supportive community by fostering student-studentand student-faculty relationships. The potential benefits of transitioning a summer researchexperience composed primarily of isolated research and seminars to one based on a learningcommunity approach has recently been demonstrated.

Moderate to low winds can cause vibrations in structures resultingin fatigue in structural components and perceptible motions unacceptable to the users, or it can cause duststorms which could become a health or traffic hazard. Wind engineering research at Texas Tech University (TTU) was initiated in 1970 after a tornadodevastated the city of Lubbock, where TTU is located. The tornado damaged almost 20% of this city of170,000 people. It was at this time that the Institute for Disaster Research (IDR) at TTU was formed.

We believe the qualitative research methods will give us ways to approach ourcolleagues with solid evidence on what engineering students are actually experiencing,learning, feeling, and thinking in those initial classes. We believe that this evidence willnot match what those professors believe is happening in their classes.We undertook this investigation of qualitative research methods in order to be able to usesolid methods in tackling our “why” questions.

Thislack of inquiry is likely due to the wide array of potential directions that can be taken whenconsidering culture, and the different names studies of culture often fall under. This ambiguitycreates difficulty in “visuali[zing] the range of materials that might be available” that would berequired for engaging in a systematic review [61, p. 21], [62].

Other examples ofcross-disciplinary interactions abound in our projects, where undergrads bring new techniquesand capabilities into projects, which the highly-focused graduate students
