Myexperience is primarily at an aviation program within a comprehensive public university.Aviation programs are typically administered under one of three colleges: engineering, business,or applied sciences & arts. In my case, the program was originally administered by engineering,then moved to
graduate programs still operate within primarily disciplinary-based organizational systems that impact scholars’ abilities to engage in interdisciplinary work at the expense of meeting disciplinary expectations[4], [5], [10], [19], [32],[33], [34]. Moreover, students graduating from interdisciplinary programs still struggle to develop positive senses of identity, belonging, and motivation in interdisciplinary research communities– all of which are necessary for pursuing interdisciplinary work as early-career academics[7],[35], [36]. The challenge is particularly acute for graduate students in engineering and STEM (i.e., Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. These areas of study

stresses are easily determined by traditional strength of materials equations,continuum mechanics or by finite element analysis. The second type of mechanical stress thatoccurs in materials is classified as residual stresses. These are the stresses that remain in thematerial after all the applied loads are removed.Mechanical engineering and engineering technology students have a difficult time understandingthe generation of residual stresses, measuring them and their overall effect on design life.Residual stresses typically come from non-uniform plastic flow due to some previous loading ormanufacturing process. Some of these processes are but not limited to casting, machining,welding, grinding, shot peening, quenching, nonuniform cold working such

Session 1330 Reliability, Validity, and Bias in Peer Evaluations of Self-Directed Interdependent Work Teams Robert S. Thompson Colorado School of MinesI. IntroductionTeamwork education has become increasingly important over the last decade. In a recent surveyconducted at the Purdue School of Engineering, over 76% of the students responded that theyhad been involved as members of student work teams (486 out of 1,953 responded) 1. Thisemphasis on teamwork skills stems from the widespread use of teams in industry.Peer evaluations are being used
technology, is used to constructinnovative online assignments that provide students with real time formative feedback as theyattempt to solve quantitative engineering problems. The interactive system has found favor withinstructors, teaching assistants and students. Because each step taken by the student in theproblem solution is recorded by the accompanying learning management system, students andinstructors can easily review modules to determine where the student went wrong. This approachalso frees Teaching Assistants from the necessity of grading homework, most of which areworked correctly, and allows them to spend time with the students who most need their help.Because of the many options available in the authoring tool, novice developers often
