researchtraining program in geophysics at North Carolina A&T State University. Being an extremelybroad and important field of science, geophysics entails the study and exploration of the earthand its atmosphere and waters by means of physical measurements, and requires its practitionersto utilize a combination of mathematics, physics, geology, and computer science to analyze thesemeasurements to infer properties and processes of the complex earth system. By its nature ofinterdisciplinarity, geophysics makes research and development projects ideal for education andresearch training of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students.Education and training have become lifelong pursuits for our workforce, as new jobs requiringnew skills

The goal of the Alternative Energy Club is to incorporate alternative sourcesof energy into practical engineering applications and projects. One of the current projects is tobuild a solar powered car to race in the American Solar Challenge.6. AssessmentBoth formative and summative assessments were conducted. At the beginning of each lecture orlab activity, questions related to the previous lesson were asked and reflected upon. Studentswere also given opportunities to address issues that they felt they did not quite understand.Discussion then took place to explore reasons for lack of understanding. This

Any “below average” range (score of a 3.0 or lower) was notdeemed a successful outcome of team performance. A value between 3.0 and 4.0 was consideredpositive, but not highly impactful on positive overall team performance. Finally, any score with avalue of a 4.0 or higher was a success resulting in teams functioning at a top (high) performancelevel. Similar survey development has been utilized in engineering education in the past (McGourtyet al. 1998), yet not in the same context of technology supported multidisciplinary teams with fourdistinct technical options.

This paper describes an innovative approach to the integration of computerarchitecture and parallel programming tools into existing undergraduate and graduate-levelcurricula via network-computing technology, that reduces or eliminates the overheads in-volved in locating, testing, learning, using and maintaining tools. In addition to the network-computing infrastructure, integrating tools into existing classesrequires the availability of extensive educational material.

An effective team formationmechanism in Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs is vital to create astrong collaboration among students and to maximize learning. In this paper, a preliminary study has beenperformed to investigate a possible route to build an effective collaboration among students by changingthe traditional paradigm “cheating on in-class Examinations” into a possible productive team work arena
