Finally, many scholars contend that VLs and digital learningcommunities offer several benefits to diverse student learning communities, e.g. flexible learning(synchronous and asynchronous learning), expansion of learning opportunities (risk-freeexperimentation with dangerous or expensive materials, where students can be provided access toenvironments where they would otherwise be restricted), enhanced engagement and motivationthrough adaptive learning and inclusive learning environments. Thus, VLs could theoreticallyprovide a pathway towards personalized learning, which is one of the 14 Grand Challenges

. TheNational Academy of Engineering committee on technological literacy noted these trends and suggesteda possible cause: Most people have very few direct, hands-on connections to technology, except as finished goods. They do not build the devices they use, tinker with them to improve their performance, or repair them when they break. Because of this lack of engagement, people today learn relatively little about technologies through direct experience.1Coupled with the lack of public understanding is the dearth of students, especially women andminorities, studying engineering in school and pursuing engineering careers. In 2002, fewer than sixpercent of the 1.1 million seniors who took the ACT Assessment college entrance

As the NSF projectundergoes more years of execution, it is predicted that it will have an even bigger impact on thelocal community in which the University resides/serves.

, undergraduate degrees awarded in thefields of engineering have declined from 6.3 to 5.4 percent of the total degrees conferred. Animportant strategy for increasing the number of future engineers is to engage students fromtraditionally underrepresented groups in engineering, including women and ethnic minorities. Tobe successful in expanding the pool of potential engineers, the needs of these underrepresentedstudents have to be addressed. A majority of these students have low-levels of preparation forcollege-level course work, especially in math and science, and most have little or no pre-collegeexposure to the engineering profession.

In the first years of anundergraduate engineering degree program, introductory classes often focus on textbookproblems, larger lectures, and individual written exams. The ability to produce specificnumerical results to written problems is therefore ADK. In later years, ADK increasingly shiftstowards teamwork, communication skills, research, and collection and analysis of data.

He found that all teams spent comparableamounts of total time on each design problem; however, all female teams spent less time onmodeling and communicating about potential design solutions than mixed gender or all maleteams. His study points towards the necessity of ensuring norms for engaging with teammembers is made explicit and team members are held accountable to those norms.
