Some of those improvements include: 1. Conduct as much site reconnaissance as possible in advance of student arrivals. The primary relief effort coordinators (Capt. Ethan Frizzell, Dr. Clay Bolton, Dr. Charles Pierce) arrived in Biloxi, MS about 36 hours prior to the students. While this was adequate, having another 24 hours on the ground would have been more effective. Much of the reconnaissance involved assessing and mapping homes for potential cleanup and communicating with the homeowners. It cannot be understated how important this

STEM mentees wereless sensitive to strict guidelines surrounding their job criteria because they potentially wereaccustomed to similar standards throughout their STEM journey, and they believed that theirskills led their career path (not their gender) [11]. However, traditional gender roles such aschildcare responsibilities were noted as a barrier for women in STEM due to scheduledisruptions, and the extended absence from STEM courses or lab work may rendercomprehension and expertise due to a rapidly changing field [11].

While both forms of support can be providedin traditional formal mentoring relationships, studies show that more effective mentoring oftenoccurs during informal mentoring relationships (Zey, 1984). Informal mentoring relationshipsare established through a self-selection process as opposed to the contractual assignment by athird party such as a department head; the mentee often seeks out the mentor based on relationalexperiences and shared points of interest. While formal and informal mentoring relationshipshave similar benefits, informal mentoring relationships tend to be more long standing and mostbeneficial for both the mentor and mentee (Cole & Griffin, 2013; Jacobi, 1991; Roberts, 2000).One of the common difficulties faced by

engineering problems are inherently ill-structured in that they are complex, defined bynon-engineering constraints, are missing information, and contain conflicting information.Therefore, it is very important to prepare future engineering students to be able to anticipate theoccurrence of such problems, and to be prepared to solve them. However, most courses are taughtby academic professors and lecturers whose focus is on didactic teaching of fundamental principlesand code-based design approaches leading to predetermined “right” answers. Most classroom-taught methods to solve well-structured problems and the methods needed to solve ill-structuredproblems are strikingly different. The focus of our current effort is to compare and contrast theproblem

We justify putting students inthis position on two levels. First, unlike faculty who only teach a selection of PDI studio courses,students experience them all. This gives them important insight into the real time scaffolding ofskills. Second, many students, during the course of their undergraduate careers, make judgmentsabout what was effective and ineffective in the classroom, which may or may not align with thepoints of view of faculty.

Efficiency is, of course, an abstracted index, the ratio betweena given output and a given input of a particular system. Determining which particular inputs andoutputs are worth optimizing (as with the question of educational context above) is a historicaland situated process, usually the outcome of intensive and extensive contentions and negotiationsby stakeholders, fraught with trade-offs, and suggestive of groups of winners and losers.Whereas improving systems efficiencies is in some respects a hallmark of
