The students travel abroad and stay for three weeks and live with ahomestay family. The students are accompanied by a pair of Union faculty, an engineer and asocial scientist. An attractive feature of the mini term is that it is done outside of the academicyear, either during the December break between fall and winter terms or in July, after the springterm. Consequently, the students’ academic schedule is not interrupted. Students attendseminars on the

The First Rowan CEE Capstone Project and ResultsThe first capstone project was sponsored by an affiliate of a local water utility. Because theutility had limited well capacity, it relied on purchased potable water from an adjoining utility tosupply its storage reservoirs and distribution network. The utility’s storage and distributionsystem included three reservoirs, one ground level tank, and one elevated tank. The storagefacilities were located at four locations within the water

During the first pilot semester, eight engineers wereinvited.During the semester there were impromptu engineering design projects. That is, studentswere not notified in advance about the nature of a design problem but were challenged tocome up with a design spontaneously in a limited time period. For example, in one earlyproject in a special extended class period, students were told to bring swimsuits but werenot told why. In class they were given a limited amount of materials and were asked todesign a cardboard canoe. They had two hours to design and

I thought this class was great. Most of the things you guys did were good, but other people tell me that it’s hard, the book should be incorporated more, we need weekly homework, and that you should lecture for fifty straight minutes instead of having group work. This may help some people learn more, but others may learn better from the present method. • Should it be this easy? Since I’ve never been exposed to this stuff before, I wouldn’t think so.

Autoethnography differs from ethnography (i.e., the study of individuals, people,and cultures) in that it allows exploration of familiar topics, primarily the researcher self, ratherthan unfamiliar terrain. Despite its advantages, autoethnography can introduce biases if researchersoverly rely on personal experiences without considering the cultural context [64]. To mitigate theserisks, Chang advises researchers to avoid pitfalls such as excessive focus on the self, reliance solelyon memory, neglect of ethical practices, inappropriate labeling, and prioritization of narrativesover cultural interpretation is

The introduction of Team-based learning (TBL) in the 1980s marked a significant shift inaddressing the challenges of large class settings in educational environments [1], [2]. Originally abusiness school innovation, TBL has now permeated various disciplines including engineering,medicine, and social sciences globally. Some courses, such as first-year engineering, maycombine TBL with project-based learning (PBL) to introduce students to common engineeringthemes such as design, sustainability, and ethics. Despite its wide-ranging benefits, TBL'seffectiveness can be inequitable for a variety of reasons, including free riders, imbalances in taskallocation, and more broad communication issues [3], [4]. Thus, the application of teamworkassessment
