to online (OL) instruction changed the natureof engineering education in profound ways. First-year engineering students enrolled in OLcourses completed team-based design projects under conditions that differed from their F2Fcounterparts in two important ways. First, OL team members worked remotely, distanced frominstructors and peers, because they were unable to collaborate in the same physical space.Second, OL team members did not have access to on-campus materials and tools.The purpose of this work-in-progress paper is to explore whether and, if so, how studentsenrolled in OL and F2F introductory engineering courses differed in the ways they engaged witha team-based design project. More specifically, the aim is to understand differences in

Some institutions write about afemale faculty member, several female faculty members or a student organization whoimplement pre-college, retention or mentoring activities. Such examples describe activitieswhich may be admirable, but are taking faculty and student time away from important teaching,research, or learning responsibilities. True institutional commitment is evident through thesignificant commitment of institutional resources to counteract factors that limit the progress ofwomen; efforts to increase the participation and advancement of women that are proactive andinstitutionally sponsored

A pivotal part of thisformative assessment is the follow-up peer instruction associated with any quiz questions forwhich there is not a group consensus on the correct answer (Tanner and Allen, 2004). Thispursuant discussion not only helps students who are struggling, but also allows students whobetter comprehend the material to cement their understanding by explaining the concepts to theirpeers (Cortright et al., 2005; Tanner, 2009b).Group activities, termed Explorations in our course, emphasize enduring understanding overfactual knowledge and process over details.
