First, the traditionalstereotype that men are good at math and science, while women are perceived to have lessability.1 To help women succeed, researchers have suggested that students work in teams, receiveencouragement, and learn via various instructional methods.1,2 Because men are expected toexcel in math and science prior to college, this expectation follows them into the universitywhere they have more confidence that engineering is the right career choice for them thanwomen. 3 Women have a tendency to doubt their abilities and frequently question their

All studio work is conducted asmembers of these teams. Lecture topics provide the background and required to deal with the designcomponents in the studio sections2,3.

Physical distance among classrooms has no bearing on the dynamics of classroom or learning. There are advantages of classrooms being near each other. However, quality of sound is very important when all members of the class can hear anyone for greater interaction among students and the instructor to reduce the impact of physical distance. 2. Voice contact is comparatively more important than the small faces appearing on visual images on the screen. 3. More preparation required for the classes.

Students therefore begin their design process at the stage of conceptualdesign, where they need to explore and generate different design alternatives as potential solutions [33].In contrast for Team 2, their design brief outlined a chemical plant as the key solution direction andprovided a patent and technical details on what such a plant might contain. In this way, students on Team2 started in preliminary or detailed design [34] where a concept was already selected but many of itscomponents, interactions and functions still needed
