It initiated the “Educate to Innovate” program in 2009 to increasestudent participation in all STEM-related activities. The ultimate objective of these activities is to 1encourage more students to choose an education in the STEM fields and pursue a STEM-relatedcareer in the future [2].Attracting more female students into the STEM fields is a challenge. Statistical data show thereis a substantial gender gap in the STEM fields in workplaces. It has been found that womenmake up almost 50% of the workforce but hold only 28% of jobs in STEM

emphasized the concept of symmetryand symmetry BCs in FEA. Also, to the surprise of the teacher, they learned how to performnon-linear contact analysis on their own using an elastic indenter and substrate. Initially, theteacher was expecting that they would consider a hard indenter and hence simply employ adisplacement BC to perform the simulations, something that they should have known how toperform from knowledge gained in class. The students, however, wanted to do it the right wayand learned the contact procedure on their own.

Students in the course wrote an essay, as arequired assignment, in which they reflected on the links between their co-op work and thecourse, and were asked for permission to use those essays in the professor’s research on thistopic. Analysis of the essays shows that students typically did see connections; in many cases,these were connected to the course content. However, in other cases, students noted that they hadlearned problem-solving skills, time management, or other skills that were not directly connectedto the class content, which were also useful in their co-op assignments and future careers.

All four sections had thesame instructor, exams, lectures, homework assignments, etc. The only difference was themethod used for assigning teams for the team-based assignment. The four team formationstrategies were 1) random (alphabetically, by student last name), 2) by merit, based onperformance in the first half of the course 3) student-selected, and 4) by geographical proximityof student housing. The merit teams were formed based on how the students performed on thefirst two exams in the course, which was made possible by the fact that the group assignmentanalyzed in this research took place in the
