to adopt best teaching practices in theclassroom is essential [17] for their success. According to [18], there are ten practices consideredthe best for teaching math and science. These include: use of manipulatives and hands-on learning;cooperative learning; discussion and inquiry; questioning and conjectures; justification ofthinking; writing for reflection and problem solving; use of problem-solving approach; integrationof technology; teacher as a facilitator; and use of assessment as a part of instruction. In addition,understanding students’ misconceptions also supports teachers’ pedagogy [10,19].The research literature indicates that providing effective technology PD to STEM teachers has apositive effect on teacher and student learning

their engineeringcourses. We also found that neuroticism and conscientiousness are related to students’ feeling ofstress. These results may be reflective of students who have low emotional stability, seek tofollow social norms and conventions, and have abilities to succeed in the “stress culture” ofengineering [63]. Grit-persistence of effort was related to the other affective constructs ofidentity, motivation, and belonging, but Grit-consistency of interest had a weak negativecorrelation with many of the stress indicators. This result may point to differential factors of howGrit may operate in engineering students when compared to the larger populations in which ithas been used previously, like psychology students and adults.

through word selection to more closely align with the project. In adapting Team Cohesionfrom Carless and De Paola’s (2000) Group Environment Questionnaire, similar procedures werefollowed. Carless and De Paola’s (2000) original survey items were rooted in research from Wechet al., (1998), Campion et al. (1993), Anastasi and Urbina, (1997), and Cohen and Bailey (1997). Thisallowed the statements to reflect an organizational multi-disciplinary team environment statementthat they agree upon rather than a question. Examples of adaptation can be seen in Table 1. Therationale for doing such a modification was to ease students in completing the survey, but moreimportantly to associate the terminology original questions to our study. Table 1

Florman5 complained that "Theaverage citizen has very little idea what we do, often confusing us with people who run trainsor take care of boiler rooms." In fact it is still not easy for the interested citizen to find acoherent written account that could provide a comprehensive answer.On reflection, the reason for this gap in the research literature might be explained by therelatively

scoring tools that detail the expectations and requirements for anassignment32. Specifically, rubrics are advantageous when a “judgment of quality” is required tocritique a work, which is often the case for writing samples33. More generally, rubrics are usedto judge the quality of constructs (e.g. reports, presentations, etc.) made by students duringperformance tests, which require students to exhibit high-level skills to complete an authentic(i.e. real-world) challenge34. As a result, rubrics are commonly used in the classroom as bothassessment and teaching tools to enhance student learning35. For instance, an instructor mayprovide students with a rubric to guide them in completion of a task. Reflecting on the rubrichelps students assess their

Indeed, the disciplinary andlegal actions and guidelines for researchers also focus on these areas [27, 31].

Interestingly enough, Ford made a similar mistake later, optingnot to pursue a driver’s-side sliding door on their minivans until well after the competitionintroduced that hugely popular feature. There are also examples of “technology-push” products which reflect that, even in thosecases, satisfying existing needs is a key factor for success. For example, when Percy Spencer, aRaytheon engineer working on radar systems, noticed that a candy bar melted during a radarsystem test, that ultimately led to the development of the microwave oven, which in today’ssociety has essentially become a requirement of every kitchen.

They also have been exposed tofundamental engineering principles in the settings of statics, circuits and thermodynamics.Salient features of the integrated curriculum are the reliance on active/cooperative learning andthe emphasis of connections across disciplinary boundaries. A formal reflection of the emphasison cross-disciplinary work is the fact that the co-requisite engineering and mathematics classesare considered a “block”.

Significantvariation between the groups (F = 8.7947, p = .0002) was found when examining the cumulativeGPAs as of the end of the freshman year.

Our findings suggest that including an individual portion in lab group assignmentspositively impacts students. The average scores for the individual contribution portion of the labreports were 92%. The approach was shown to increase accountability among individual membersof the lab groups, as students who self-identified as “waiting to the last minute” were shown tosubmit individual portions on time (75%). Furthermore, the early submission requirementencouraged effective time management across all students, exemplified by the on-time submissionrate of 94% on individual portions, thereby diminishing the
