Eachof the three sections had a place for students to write in an additional question, along with a placefor them to make comments and elaborate on responses. All survey participants were enrolled in upper level courses housed within the CETdepartment. The students in the survey were a combination of civil engineering technology andarchitecture students who needed the courses to fulfill degree requirements. Survey participantshad the same professor and students were offered a similar assortment of opportunities to learnand engage with the course material.

Leadership opportunitiespresented to female participants are often limited as few of the females feel confident enough tolead such a technically embedded, hands-on team of male peers – who are usually moreexperienced in the technical and hand-on applications of the Collegiate Design Series and assuch are more comfortable to assume and keep leadership roles. Often female participants arerelegated to more traditional female roles on the team – writing the technical report ordeveloping the cost report and as such they are often denied the opportunity to foster andimprove the critical skills identified

For the BRAE students, it is a rapid emersion intoa team of people with varied and unfamiliar technical abilities. The student’s teaming skillslearned in the peer to peer environment are tested in this new mix of disciplines. All the studentsface communication challenges due to differing expectations, motivations and departmentalcultures.

Science literacyrequires strong communication skills, both in interpreting others‟ work, and explaining andjustifying one‟s own. To become skilled scientists, students need to learn how to communicatein this world in which the language and structure may be new to them. With the advent of theInternet, the definition of valid information sources has become fuzzy. Students often do theirresearch online, but do not have the skills or knowledge to determine whether their sources arevalid67.

this paper, and as derived from anonymous end-of-course surveys.We were inspired to write a paper about this course because it was well-received by the students(three of whom are co-authors of this paper), and because we felt the topic of the course is animportant one for young engineers to consider. Furthermore, we believe that, for an engineeringcourse, the way it was created and conducted is unusual. The course required a significantamount of reading, writing, and discussions, and because the course instructor, who had littleprior expertise in the philosophical aspects of the course, considered himself a co-learner withthe students. We hope that by sharing our experiences with this course, we will make it easierfor interested instructors to
