instituted a dedicated pedagogy seminarthat all studio GTAs attend. In this seminar, we have integrated concepts from ComplexInstruction in mathematics with particular attention to the way students’ status impacts theirparticipation on a team and their opportunity to learn.24,25 We are also working towards moreintentional ways for studio team formation, reflection, and interdependence. To this end we havepiloted the use of the CATME tool26 in one studio class. Finally, we have engaged our IndustrialAdvisory Board (IAB) as a source for problems to integrate in the studio. We have been workingwith the IAB Chair to develop a process where we can translate the project experiences of ourindustrial partners into useful studio activities for our students.4

Aftercompletion of the experiment, the students needed to submit a report which included analysis ofthe experimental data.
