thestudents as is.As a general takeaway from the student survey, it appears that students most enjoy and value theactivities that allow them to apply their engineering knowledge gained in the classroom in apractical setting which encourages interactions with others. This is consistent with what has beenfound in other programs [11]. The least enjoyment appears to come from times when they aremeeting with faculty and TAs, either for help or for the expected mentoring needed in the program.However, receiving help when needed through office hours appears to be highly valued by thosewho utilize the opportunity.Eleven of the PECS program scholars attended the 2020 Annual Emerging Researchers National(ERN) Conference in Science, Technology, Engineering and

assign them, whether to change groupsweekly or keep them the same all quarter (or semester) and whether to require students to submittheir work individually or as a group. This paper explores the effects of the method of groupassignment on the benefits and drawbacks of group work as perceived by students. Specifically,the paper presents the results of a group assignment survey given to students in severalundergraduate computer engineering courses that span sophomore to senior level and are taughtby different faculty.IntroductionGroup work is an important aspect of any undergraduate engineering program. The AccreditationBoard of Engineering and Technology (ABET) states that all ABET accredited programs shouldgive students “an ability to function
and activelearning. The use of technology can mitigate some of these issues as it can allow forvisualization of abstract and mathematical concepts. This also brings in the possibility for designwork, a core aspect of the Creativity thread within the RED project, in a way that was notpossible through traditional methods.Within the Creativity thread of the RED project, we consider MATLAB as one of the mostessential tools that all ECE students and future engineers should be able to use effectively.MATLAB® (by MathWorks, Inc.) is chosen not only for its very high quality and versatility, butbecause it represents a generally accepted standard in science and engineering educationworldwide.

Arvid Andersen Ingeniørhøjskolen i København, DenmarkAbstractAn international semester at the Engineering College of Copenhagen promotes internationalstudent teamwork. This initiative which started in 1995 is placed within the ExportEngineering department. Very early on it was recognised that fundamental changes inworking attitudes with a greater emphasis on multidisciplinary and cross-culturalenvironments highlighted the need for a different approach to education and training
engineering concepts through examples from their own livesis a powerful way to help engage students. It helped to deepen student understanding of coursematerial, and got students to start asking questions about other applications of engineeringprinciples rather than just reproducing calculations. It also helped to get students more involvedin lectures and helped turn the lectures into active learning exercises. This experience has led theinstructor to reexamine some of the examples that are used in other classes to see how they couldbetter connect to students.5. Bibliography1.
