andnurturing areas in physics and mathematics. As such, numerous institutions have implementedadditional programs/centers that foster communication and leadership skills to undergraduatestudents, while various scholars have encouraged and implemented these skills in their researchgroups. Marquez and Garcia, for instance, studied the effects of incorporating communication andleadership skills, as a scaffolding process, with students participating in engineering undergraduateresearch [18]. In the study, five technical aspects, or scaffolds, were incorporated to reinforceengineering curriculum, develop research aptitude, and enhance cognitive development such asliterature review, design, implementation, testing, and research [18].

This served twoadditional purposes – one was that they could continue to work on a different problem whilewaiting for help, and second, was that it also alleviated the anxiety of introverted groups.Several times during the semester, the free-response questions were replaced by short in-classprojects which they would start using MATLAB programming and outlined for a post-classactivity. Examples of such problems include a) computing the length of a curve drawn using a sewing-ruler-flexible curve on an engineering graph paper, b) finding the volume occupied by a complex-shaped three-dimensional object such as a champagne glass via only

, establish goals, plan tasks,and meet objectives.A question pertinent to any engineering educator is, “Where, when and how do we satisfy thisoutcome?” As an example of this, Sangelkar et al [2] surveyed faculty in their mechanicalengineering program to identify teaming experiences throughout their curriculum. They found anumber of courses with collaborative learning experiences, projects staffed by multiple students,and some degree of instruction in teaming, but conclude that the teaming experience in acurriculum can contain significant gaps.One of the challenges of teamworking is finding the time to provide instructor guidance withinthe scheduled classroom time. Some of the key issues to be addressed in teaming instruction arenoted in [3] and [4

activities are essentially nolonger possible. Mechanical Engineering Design (i.e., Machine Design) at California StateUniversity Chico normally facilitates a semester-long design and fabrication project to givestudents a real-world engineering experience. As an alternative, this paper considers theeffectiveness and benefit of focusing on the documentation and presentation of engineeringanalysis and design work rather than hands-on projects. In a series of activity assignments,students are required to compose short technical reports which document their engineeringanalysis in professional form. Each subsequent assignment had an increased level of analysiscomplexity and documentation which related to the course material. A mid-semester survey

While the results here are in general agreement withprevious studies regarding academic self-confidence and how it is affected by gender and overthe course of the engineering program, there is a significant amount of work yet to be done tocontinue to explore how different measures of self-efficacy relate to tasks undertaken (masteryexperiences), and how they are affected by larger factors such as gender schemas. In particular,analysis of semi-structured interviews is beginning to provide a more nuanced view into howstudents view their teaming experiences and may provide insight into
