and the contractor’s company size? Third, wasthere a relationship between the contractors’ risk premium for each identified risk and thecontractors’ percent of self-completed work?To answer the above mentioned research questions, data for this study was collected from twogroups of contractors. Group A included contractors who were presented a bid package withexculpatory clauses. Group B included contractors who were presented a bid package with aseparate list of identified risks. During the analysis of the developed data the following nullhypotheses were tested:Ho1: There was no relationship between the contractors’ risk premium for each identified risk andthe contractors years of experience.Ho2: There was no relationship between the
experiences, including the theatre sketch.Students (n intervention=116, n comparison= 137) took the Valuing Diversity and EnactingInclusion in Engineering Scale [17], which assesses four related constructs. Specifically, thesurvey asked to students to indicate their agreement with why engineers should value diversity inengineering: (a) fulfill a greater purpose (n=4, r = .88) and (b) serve customers better (n = 4, r =.91), and whether the students would (c) promote a healthy team culture (n = 4, r = .87), and (d)challenge discriminatory behavior (n = 5, r = .93). Students took the survey four times during thesemester, approximately after the first week of class, fifth week, tenth week, and thirteenth week.The Larger ContextOf note, this study is

Each group would beasked to name an electronic device within five seconds (every group member may answer) and theinstructor would record each item under the group list (A and B) in PowerPoint. For example, theinstructor would type “laptops" under list A if group A mentioned it. The game stopped wheneverone of the groups failed to name an electronic device within five seconds and the other group won.The purpose of this activity was to help students recognize how many

helical spring. The device is unique in that theexcitation is supplied by non-contacting magnets, one of which can be oscillated harmonically bya DC-motor driven Scotch yoke mechanism. This means that the device can be used to studyboth free response and forced response, making it much more versatile. The device is alsomodular, so that it can be used to study either single-degree-of-freedom or two-degree-of-freedom systems. This device can be used in system dynamics courses and in vibrations coursesin ME and AE. The force amplitude and frequency can also be adjusted to examine nonlinearvibrations to show advanced undergraduate or graduate-level concepts. (a) (b)Figure 1: Two-degree-of

On the technical dimension, the project report requiresthe students to explain how they tested the subsystems, how they performed integration testing,and to evaluate how their prototype met (or failed to meet) specifications. The AGV reportevaluation rubric is shown in Appendix A. Regarding the human dimension, each student isrequired to submit a peer-assessment and self-evaluation in which they write at least one bulletedstatement on each team member’s strengths and areas needing improvement, as shown inAppendix B. All aspects of the project should be considered

These constructs took inspiration from “closeness” measures [28] and projectivemethods in psychology. Additionally, students were invited to provide qualitative data throughin-class reflection prompts throughout the quarter. Two examples of these prompts are providedin Appendix B.

In this way, scores for allconstructs vary from a minimum of one to a maximum of nine, which is aligned with the samecontinuum as individual item responses (i.e., 1 = Strongly Disagree, 9 = Strongly Agree).Third, we computed descriptive statistics pre- and post-course for each survey construct,including the mean (M) and standard deviation (SD). As we recognize that individual coursescan have varied impacts on student growth, Appendix B summarizes student changes by course.Fourth, we checked normality assumptions by computing the Shapiro-Wilks [20] coefficient forthe difference scores for each construct. These analyses revealed that many difference scoreswere approximately
