The student’s final homeworkgrade was the product of the weighting factor and the team project grade. Correlations werecomputed between peer ratings and test grades, peer ratings and self-ratings, ratings given toteammates of the same sex and of the opposite sex, and ratings given to teammates of the sameethnic background and of different ethnic backgrounds.Peer ratings correlated significantly

IntroductionTo compete in an increasingly global economy, the education of tomorrow’s engineersemphasizes the solving of open-ended engineering design problems. This theme is evident inthe growing level of collaboration among accrediting agencies, industry, and federal fundingagencies to support research on the assessment of student learning, and to encourage excellencein curriculum and pedagogy that provide an exposure to engineering practice1-3.

making process regarding multi-stage project funding. Some real optionsproponents29,30 have suggested that sequential compound options is a preferred method overdecision tree analysis for determining the value of multi-stage projects.The majority of work and the latest criticism regarding real options have been focused on thesimple deferral (single stage) option. As with single stage analysis, an option value for amultiple stage project can be computed. However, there is significantly more complexity inevaluating a multi-stage project when compared to a single-stage project. Because of thiscomplexity, closed form (and thus straightforward) solutions are generally not possible. Also,due to the complexity, many questions about multi-stage analysis

The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) citesfactors such as increased access to high performance computing, Internet connectivity and othertechnology by previously under-developed countries as some of the reasons for the increasednumber of firms globally that are now competing for engineering projects (1).

However, women and minorities comprised only 23% and 6%, of the student body,respectively. The retention rates for women and minority engineering students from sophomorethrough senior year at MTU are lower than those for non-minority males, mirroring nationaltrends.3 Since women and minorities make up only a fraction of the students in the College ofEngineering, it is likely that they must deal with a myriad of social and personal issues such asisolation, campus climate, lack of role models, hesitation in seeking academic assistance, andinadequate financial resources in addition to the demands of a rigorous curriculum

However, the dominant image of engineering rarely evokes ideas of typing pages ofprose. A field that has been adopted into the engineering curriculum to help engage engineeringstudents in higher education is Science, Technology, and Society (STS). As an interdisciplinaryfield, STS offers an active-learning environment to refine nontechnical engineering skills likeproblem-solving and communication. One recent question amongst STS scholars for engineersis: what role will generative AI play in the learning process for written communication?

Much past research on retention hasfocused on students who leave engineering (so-called “non-persisters”) and what caused theirdeparture. For example, Marra et al.2 shows students of both genders tend to drop out ofengineering primarily for two reasons: 1) the curriculum is too challenging and the quality ofteaching too poor, and 2) students don’t believe they belong.
