]. Equitableteaming tools are intended to reduce stereotyping and task-assignment bias with the expectedresult of improving team dynamics and productivity [7]. Therefore, the research question thatguided this study is as follows: How did the implementation of equitable teaming tools impactstudents' perception of psychological safety while working in teams in a first-year engineeringcourse?Psychological safety has been described as a willingness to share thoughts and ideas without fearof reprisal [8]. Students who feel that they can share ideas and questions with fellow teammembers feel “safe” enough to do so and are not afraid of making mistakes. This is especiallyimportant in a team, especially when a team leader cannot be expected to know what everyone

his colleagues explain that because “education forsustainability is the path to global development, it is necessary to expand research and studies onthe subject” [9]. Significantly, the authors highlight the important work that universities do “notonly to generate and transfer relevant knowledge, but also to educate individuals and contributeto a more sustainable future” [9]. Importantly, at the outset of their study the authors note thatthey included not only environmental and economic but also social aspects of sustainabledevelopment in their study’s purview [9]. After surveying 5,924 publications in the WOS database, the authors report that thehighest number of publications in the areas of sustainability and education for

However, it should be notedthat two of the three non-expert tutors were undergraduates and the other was a graduate student.The tutor with subject matter expertise had over 20 years of technical writing experience. But asthe data from the 2011 logs demonstrate, without training, the tutors focused on surface features,such as grammar and punctuation, as did the non-expert tutors in Mackiewicz’s study. Further inher conclusion, Mackiewicz suggested that with additional training, writing tutors withoutengineering expertise could provide effective support.
