significantly, the hackathon environment encourages the same type ofinnovation one would expect from a PBL course. Hackathons, however, have not previouslybeen thought of as an environment for PBL in the same way that classroom courses have. Giventhat hackathons are becoming increasingly integral to the success of computer science students, itis useful to consider how, and to what extent, elements of PBL are manifested in hackathons.4The purpose of this research study is to use the Buck Institute of Education’s (BIE) GoldStandard PBL framework to analyze hackathon environments for the presence of key project-based learning characteristics.2 This was accomplished through a qualitative study utilizing bothobservation and interview protocols of selected

Therefore, research that can ascertain how studentsin these various contexts perceive and make sense of design, as well as what they believe isrelevant and important in a design project, provides an important empirical basis for improvingengineering programs and meeting the criteria set forth by engineering and technology’saccreditation organization, ABET, for effective engineering curriculum.14The authors employ a discursive psychological approach to analyze interviews with studentsfrom four different institutions working on multidisciplinary

Studentsfirst begin to develop design skills while they are also integrating their engineering contentknowledge and learning to apply it in authentic (or pseudo-authentic) contexts. In some cases,design is also introduced as part of a “cornerstone” experience in the first year of an engineeringprogram. Generally, however, the bulk of the engineering curriculum consists of engineeringscience courses that rely heavily on theoretical mathematics and closed-ended problem solving.Many design studies have investigated the difference between novices and experts in practicingdesign.

In addition to regular instructor mentoring and coaching, team selection appears to playan important role in mitigating such behaviors. In the interest of understanding how teamselection might impact team effectiveness in a capstone setting, this paper examines a smallsample of capstone project teams over multiple semesters using a case study approach basedupon a relatively large population of students. Drawing upon insights from working withstudents at two different universities (one private and one public) observations on the factors thatmay impact team effectiveness are discussed.
