In a CoP,individuals who share a common concern or passion join together to share ideas, increaseexpertise, and improve practice [5], [6]. CoPs vary in their format; they may be informal orformal, centrally located or geographically distributed, in-person or virtual, set within oneorganization or containing members from many different organizations [7].Previous research on university personnel in CoPs often focuses on their experiences inuniversity-level CoPs, such as CoPs for faculty development [8]–[10].

Development. A variety of administrative hurdles, some real and some perceived,arose during the development of the concept. The first and foremost real hurdle is the amount ofeffort and time associated with creating a new degree program. This requires a series ofapprovals including faculty, curriculum and academic affairs committees, honors and scholars,university governance, and state governance. The typical approval time can exceed two years.Additionally, and related to this same topic, pushback came from several department chairs.They stated a concern that a new degree program would possibly attract all the best studentsfrom their (traditional) department. It was decided early in the process to reduce or eliminateboth real and perceived hurdles by

Each professor interprets gender in teamwork differently andsome choose to ignore this issue because this problem also exists in workplaces. However,the perception of professors is really important about teamwork because these insights shapeany decision related to the forming teams or facilitating teams. We also found that professorsignore facilitating teams or are not able to facilitate.

comments.This problem may result from a concern about hurting the writer’s grade since some studentsquestioned whether or not their numerical ratings would be calculated in the grading process.The professor needed to explain carefully that their ratings were to help the student earn a bettergrade and would not count in the professor’s grade. The professor also noticed that sometimeswriters merely skimmed the reviews but did not carefully read them. The instructor, however,who does not have time to carefully read all the peer reviews should not feel guilty. Peer reviewis essentially for the student, not for the instructor.Another issue is that students may become accustomed to peer review and be uncomfortable ifall papers are not peer reviewed. One

Whileall faculty members have spent years perusing the technical literature and have had guidance onwriting from experienced advisors and editors, few undergraduate students have reviewed muchprimary literature before they enter their engineering laboratory courses. Fewer still have cometo understand the kind of structural and stylistic concerns that drive professional engineeringreporting. In fact, there is every reason to assume that their prior writing instruction may havebeen unhelpful if not downright confusing. On one hand, general writing instruction may beirrelevant to specific practice (Petraglia, 1995). One the other

It was not an issue for usthis year as we ended up with an extra robot because students preferred to work with moreteam-members rather than break off into smaller groups.
