investigated how amulti-disciplinary team could coordinate tasks using a novel Computer Aided Design (CAD) toolthat enables multiple users to simultaneously access and modify a model [10]. The projectdemonstrated that students from three institutions in three time zones could effectivelycollaborate on the design of an aircraft wing assembly. The 2012 – 2013 project successfullyimplemented a “multi-site, cloud-based capstone design project” within a cross-cultural, peer-to-peer design-build-test environment [11]. Within this environment students were exposed to theindustrial principles of collaborative digital design and manufacturing, targeting complex cyber-mechanical systems. These previous projects were evaluated in order to develop a betterprogram

solid argument for the need to help young adults acquire theknowledge they need to be safe online.Another explanation for young adults’ risky online behaviors is the way they think aboutthe Internet and privacy in general. Many young people think of the Internet as their ownpersonal space where they interact with their peers, and fail to recognize that theinformation meant for peer groups, as well as conversations among peers, are available tomany other, unintended audiences6. Similarly, a large study of 7,000 American collegestudents found that passwords, social security and credit card numbers were included inthe respondents’ notion of online privacy, but postings on social networking sites such asFacebook were not a matter of concern7

The environment itself revolvesaround a “lecturebook” that serves as both a textbook and a notebook for the students. Thecurriculum proceeds through the sequential chapters of the lecturebook with students writing theirpersonal notes directly on the pages of the lecturebook itself. Instructors use example problemsfrom the lecturebook during class, and their students can look up videos showing the solutions tothese examples (including those not covered during in-class instruction) by going online to thecourse website

They were originally designed thatway but were reduced to fit in another course whose content has been folded into other courses.This has resulted in minor changes to the first two years of the 8-semester plan.

Additionally, students can work from anywhere across the globe andcollaborate with peers and mentors from multiple countries and disciplinary backgrounds.Furthermore, virtual internships have been found to increase motivation and enable students tolearn better [2] by allowing them to have more flexibility, mobility, and autonomy in their work[3].

[4]found that for many students, coursework can be an external motivator as it imposes deadlinesand encourages them to interact with fellow students. Whereas, students perceive the writingphase as the most difficult. Common concerns with this last portion of the doctoral programinclude not having the necessary writing skills to communicate effectively, while beingchallenged to publicly demonstrate competence. Many students also shared concerns regardingtime management, questioning their abilities (personal and academic), isolation, and the expectedtime

For example, student 11’s final six measurements were clicking back andforth between the two breadboard rows on either side of the loose feedback wire. This makes sense,since from the picture presented, the circuit is wired correctly, and the voltage difference betweenthese points is surprising. Many feedback measurements strongly indicate that the student noticedsomething was wrong in this region, but it is not sufficient to indicate that they understood the rootcause of the issue: 5 students measured the feedback loop at least 4 times without writing thecorrect cause in the follow-up questions.

To helpstudents actively recognize the diversity among their peers. Librarians can get a sense ofclassroom diversity by looking at the results of the survey. However, that alone does not advancethe concept of inclusion. According to McNair, inclusion is the “active, intentional, and ongoing engagement withdiversity—in the curriculum, in the co-curriculum, and in communities (intellectual, social,cultural, geographical) with which individuals might connect—in ways that increase awareness,content knowledge, cognitive sophistication, and empathic understanding of the complex

One particular exampleof this is the Affinity Research Group model [14], which sees engineering learning as an iterativeand social process in which students achieve learning outcomes through their own experiences asmembers of a community brought together by a shared goal. In an Affinity Research Group,students continuously engage in experiential learning groups as they move forward in their careerpathways. This allows them to not only learn from their peers, faculty, and mentors, but also helpand mentor others in turn. This model of learning is particularly relevant in the case of Hispanicand first-generation students, who posses cultural work
