The faculty in each cohort worked together during the workshops (brainstorming andbouncing ideas off each other) and also met regularly throughout the semesters to refine coursecontent and share successes. At the conclusion of the week-long workshop, each faculty memberreported on an idea for a course module and an action plan. During the following year, thefacilitators would meet with the faculty for reporting (i.e., accountability) sessions.

Copper was originally selectedfor this extrusion but multiple difficulties arose in procuring this material, including cost. As aresult, the researchers decided to investigate aluminum alloys, but the desired extrusion was notavailable in a suitable electrically conductive alloy. They then proposed but did not implement atest plan to determine if heat treatment of less desirable aluminum would be effective forincreasing conductivity of the alloy to within a tolerable range.
