Science, Technology,Engineering and Math (STEM) degree programs is one way to help to address this problem. TheHigh Altitude Research Platform (HARP) system does this by teaching the scientific methodthrough applying experiments in the near space field. These experiments are developed bystudents using microelectronics (GPS, wireless, videos, miniature sensors, etc.). The programdesires to train students to practically apply theory to real-life problems making them betterprepared for graduate school or employment in industry. Students learn to solve problems andovercome obstacles by performing original experiments in real world settings. Page

drawbacks, however.Common concerns are that team members will agree to give one another identically highratings, or give ratings based on gender or racial prejudice, or inflate their own ratings if self-ratings are collected. Some instructors also worry that many students will resent having theirgrades affected by their teammates’ ratings. The objective of this study was to examine thevalidity of these concerns.A peer rating system developed at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology was modifiedand used in two sophomore-level chemical engineering courses. The students completed theirhomework in instructor-formed teams in each course, and an average homework grade wascomputed for each team. At the end of each course the students confidentially
