Multidisciplinary Team Dynamicsin Capstone Courses The peer evaluation survey consisted of thirteen questions which were selected to measure thedegree to which team members felt they and their peers were contributing to the team’s goals. Thesequestions can be found in Appendix B. Holland et al. (2010) implemented the same peer evaluationsurvey questions in a cross-disciplinary cross-department program AEC design studio (less techni-cal but a similar construct to this pilot). Such questions were selected, in that it had demonstratedefficacy in collecting team performance characteristics (Dominick et al. 1997; Geister et al. 2006)when deployed in other multi-disciplinary settings (Jones et al. 1993). Questions included perceptions of the extent that each

especially in improving the quality of communication andencouraging the students to share also unfinished steps of the process to receive feedback fromtheir peers and instructors earlier in the process, and ease the difficulty of commenting otherparticipants work. This intensive peer learning and feedback worked well during the collocatedsessions of the course, but the higher communication barriers of the current online tools hinderedit a lot during the remote sessions. The ultimate goal of such a platform would be to make theremote collaboration more enjoyable and more productive than collocated face-to-face work.ReferencesBarron, B. and Darling-Hammond, L., 2010.

LearningAccreditationAlthough not a motivation, this approach does simplify ABET accreditation. Normally projectwork and professional skills are distributed through a TBL curriculum. This makes it verydifficult to isolate and assess these topics. A common approach is to create one course to carrymany of the topics, or heap most of the assessment categories into the capstone course. With aPBL core the assessment topics can be assessed at a natural pace in the spirit of continuousimprovement. For reference the ABET ETAC and EAC criteria are listed 7​​ .

Toaddress this problem, students opted to design new spaces for homeless people to live. The finaldesign was a house with a door for people to enter, walls for protection, and storage space. Ittook several iterations to get this design to a printable state. Both teams selected their primarydesigns for entry into the competition.

To begin, stu-dents open a MasteringEngineering problem on their smart device—an iPhone 5s in this case (Fig-ure. 1(a)). From their pre-class preparation or the 10-minute mini-lecture at the beginning of theclass, they recognize that they can solve Part A using Ohm’s law. If they do not recognize this, theycan request a hint from MasteringEngineering, or seek help from peers, the circulating teachingassistants, or instructor. They then derive the Ohm’s law expression for the desired current in theirnotebook (Figure, 1(b)) and enter it into MasteringEngineering as an expression

The course follows a problem-basedlearning model in which groups of students work through the phases of the design process on aproject for a local client, considering the design values and the ethical values in play in each decisionalong the way.

As Merriam details, thisprocess starts out very inductive, but becomes more and more deductive as themes develop andcategories crystalize until a saturation point is reached in the interview process. The analysiswas in response to the research question at all times and as Merriam suggests: (a) was assensitive to the data as possible; (b) was exhaustive; (c) was mutually exclusive; and (d) wasconceptually congruent.29FindingsAs described above, data analysis consisted of the coding and categorization of the transcriptsthrough a method of constant categorization

A well-definedframework is often useful in organizing and coordinating the assessment process to ensureconsistent methodology and data analysis.Assessment of students requires a systematic gathering of information about student learning andthe factors that affect learning, undertaken with the resources, time and expertise available, forthe purpose of improving the learning. The three main steps in assessment include: (a)articulating learning goals, objectives or outcomes, (b) gathering information about how wellstudents are meeting the goals set, and (c) using the data obtained for improving the process of Fall 2017 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, October 6-7 – Penn State Berkslearning
