In addition to meeting ABET's major design experiencerequirement, this design experience also achieves the following:• The major design experience is integrated throughout the program with minimal interruption to the more traditional curriculum.• Students can gain a perspective of how different levels of their learning and knowledge contribute to a real-world civil engineering project.• Students develop a good rapport with peers in their class and other classes and foster a mentoring relationship.• The project forges more (perhaps better) interaction and communication among engineers, faculty, and students.As the civil engineering program matures and the class size increases, we plan to require theproject team to

Students in the classroom answeredtrue/false, multiple choice and free response questions created by the instructor before class or inreal time. Each response was sent to the instructor in the form of a text message that couldappear on a PowerPoint slide or the computer screen. The study saw an increase in studentmotivation and participation, as well as a more informed and confident instructor.

The result is a compact, self-contained, tabletop unit that is flexibleenough to be used in several different courses at varying levels of engineering education. Thispaper describes how this system can be effectively used in a civil engineering curriculum.I.

One explanation for the benefit of cognitively-diverse teams oncomplex, creative tasks is the cognitive diversity hypothesis [13,18,19]. The cognitive diversityhypothesis posits that dissimilarity in team makeup (with regard to task-related attributes)discourages groupthink and encourages positive member disagreement, debate, and discussion, aswell as introducing differing attitudes, perspectives, and knowledge structures [18-23].
