For example, Sheppard et al.(2003)8 found that the utilization of ground rules systems and peer feedback tools is importantfor international and virtual team-based projects, where students are geographically dispersed asthey attempt to achieve interdependent organizational tasks. This is more reflective of the currentglobal environment of business and engineering, and highlights the need for ground rulessystems to foster collaboration and team

be transferred directly to NAU credits, so these students would notdelay graduation typically associated with other study abroad programs. Secondly, NAU alsostrives to engage CQUPT faculty and train them in the American style of teaching. The idea isthat interested qualified CQUPT professors will be invited to NAU campus to teach for onesemester or two, and NAU will assign co-faculty and TA’s to assist them while they are at NAU.The last plan is that NAU and CQUPT looks to further strengthen the relationship by committingto goals of collaborative research in education or academic field, as well as research in scienceand technology. The broad idea is that the professors from the both universities can jointly applyfor grants, publish papers

CamtasiaStudio1 allows instructors to develop video tutorials easily, which can be uploaded to their localLMS or YouTube with just a few clicks. One pedagogical strategy that often takes advantage ofthese new technologies is the flipped classroom where “direct instruction moves from the grouplearning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed intoa dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they applyconcepts and engage creatively in the subject manner.”2 There have been numerous studies thathave explored the potential benefits of a flipped classroom approach. For example, studies haveshown flipped classrooms may increase students’ ability the focus in class3 and increase
research experience and strengthening their confidence and interest in pursuing aSTEM profession.

IntroductionAn adequate supply of quality workers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) fields is vital to continued US economic growth and competitiveness [1].

Industry companies who have internshipprograms may also find this paper useful for understanding how to shape their programs ineffective ways for students. Finally, instructors and educational administrators might utilize thefindings and resulting narratives to inform their classroom environment and understanding of thefemale engineering student experience.III.
