Throughout thecoding process, inter-rater reliability (IRR) quantitatively assessed the coding agreement acrossresearchers until the IRR was higher than 80% for each coding category and the overall IRRacross all categories was higher than 90%. The data from the interviews showed studentsperceived poorer team communication in the virtual environment, limiting team’s effectivenessin completing tasks. Students mentioned that the environment had negative effects on thecollaboration and relationship formation of the group members. Some students describedstrategies they adapted for improving communication, including approaches for establishingclear expectations, streamlining meetings, and building

Questions focused onopinions about remote learning, access to technology, communication with others, and thetransitioning of cohort activities to the virtual environment. It was also decided in Spring 2020 tosurvey faculty teaching in STEM departments.

Theoverarching research goal is for the Industrial Engineering undergraduate educational experienceto be improved by making changes to instructional methods and classroom structure.Student Learning DifferencesClassroom instruction is challenging, because each student is a unique individual with differingstrengths, difficulties, enthusiasm, and accountability. Hence, each student has his or her ownspecific way of learning1. Learning style models classify students based on where they fall onseveral different scales relating to how they acquire information and organize it. Multipleinstruments exist to determine learning styles of students. One of the most well-knowninstruments is

These direct lessons can help prepare engineeringstudents to be competent in both innovating and creating new technologies, and in ensuring thesuccess of those technologies in the market.However, there was one core aspect of Lean Launch mentioned repeatedly by interviewees interms of transforming their engineering students: Customer Discovery. The process of CustomerDiscovery parallels that of the design process in that students are conducting experiments anddoing research to gather information that allows them to reframe problems, explore userneeds, revise and iterate, and refine

engineering also has an ability to influence public policy and thepossibilities for how policy is addressed [9]. In the United States, primarily lawyers, publicadministrators, and social scientists set public policies [10]. However, advancements in the fieldthrough technological innovation can open the door to new possibilities in terms of how thepublic uses infrastructure and finding ways to reduce impacts on the environment. Civil engineering-related policies touch on all aspects of society, economy, and theenvironment. Some examples of policy areas that guide infrastructure development includeclimate change, public health, safety, disaster mitigation, licensure, public engagement, and landconservation.

The focusin comparing the two models was to seek a balance in the desire for broadening the interdisciplinary andcollaborative skill development observed in the team model with the individual responsibility and inherentflexibility of the individual model. Following the resulting feedback, an emergent model is presented thatattempts to balance the best of both models.The importance of team settings in curricula Interdisciplinary education has attracted more attention as the AEC (Architecture EngineeringConstruction) industry has increased interdisciplinary needs.

We next present themes that emerged from discussions duringthe experience as well as the post interviews. We conclude with suggestions to inform our secondround of environmental design. Literature ReviewThe abstract nature of electric fields--and their 2-dimensional representations-- makes formingconceptual understandings very difficult. Thus, it seems logical that students might visualizethese ideas using concrete and familiar conceptions. This “confusion by representation,” [1], is acause of student confusion about the characteristics of electric fields. One
. While the most frequent studentresponses to the four questions were skill in math, dedication, focus, and study groupsrespectively, the five emerging factors associated with greater student success were: (1)Participation in effective program components that provide practical engineering experience --project or problem-based courses, research experience, and industry internships; (2) A burningdesire to become an engineer and reap its economic benefits; (3) Taking advantage of allresources provided; (4) Combining motivation and dedication with effective time management;and (5) Involvement in MEP programs. The results are noteworthy in suggesting that the firstand foremost success factor for minorities in engineering is exposure to engineering

relatively new methodologies in the classroom,primarily characterized by students’ active engagement or involvement in his or her academicwork, resulting in better retention of new knowledge and acquisition of desirable personal traits.Any such method that engages students in the learning process is labeled as: “active learning”method. In essence, active learning requires doing meaningful learning activities in groups underthe guidance of an informed and experienced teacher. As stated by Christensen et al 1, “To teachis to engage students in learning.” The main point is that engaging students in learning isprincipally the responsibility of the teacher, who becomes less an imparter of knowledge andmore a designer and a facilitator of learning
professional practice [1].Indeed, team-based, project-based learning experiences are thought to support myriad social,technical, and sociotechnical learning outcomes for engineering students, such as learning tothink and communicate in the languages of engineering, technical writing and communication,prototyping and fabrication, and so on [1]–[3]. However, existing research has indicated that thebenefits of participating in team-based, project-based learning experiences are not always sharedby all students, and sociodemographic characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, sex/gender,socioeconomic status, and international student status, can inform the socioacademic dynamicsby which students come to participate (in)equitably in engineering teamwork.The
