putting the project in context socially. Thehydrants had to go in physical places, on private property – and the students had to personallypresent the design variants to the community in order to get buy-in on the layout. Thus theproject provided a valuable real-world experience in engaging the project’s stakeholders that isnot present in most engineering courses.Finally, this case study also illustrates one shortcoming of the multidisciplinary approach withinthe constraints of an academic curriculum. The lone Electrical Engineering major on the teamwas not a very strong academic performer. Since there were no other Electrical Engineeringspecialists on the team, the final electrical design was not satisfactorily completed.4.0 Where is the common

it has impacted students’ sense of belonging.1 IntroductionCollaborative learning is an evidence-based instructional practice that has been adopted by manyinstructors in STEM courses in higher education. Research indicates that engaging students incollaborative activities is associated with increased student persistence, and improves studentlearning outcomes and retention [1, 2]. Successful and productive collaborations are rarelyguaranteed, however they can be greatly improved by a careful design of the task [3] and the useof available technologies, to both promote collaborations among students and support theinstructors implementing these activities [4, 5, 6, 7]. However, most of the evidence-basedpractices for collaborative learning

Furthermore, the faculty instructor occupies a higher position of institutionally-sanctioned power within the course, and negative reviews from faculty could impact peer educators’ chances of getting rehired for this prestigious (and paid) position. Peer educators might also be a student in that faculty member’s upper division course in future. As such, we feel a tension that perhaps the ethical action here would be to focus our reform efforts on faculty first. However, we also feel that we are in a weaker position to create change among engineering faculty, especially as many of our research team members are not affiliated with
