They decided to use an instantmessenger to communicate throughout the workday but often found it difficult to understand one another. Toremedy the problem, the two groups set designated times for video chat meetings before lunch and beforeeach workday ended. After encountering some difficulties with this method, a leader was elected in eachgroup and the leaders were allowed to meet in person at the end of each workday to discuss the progressmade that-day and plans for the following day. The forced separation also introduced technical difficulties.Although the requirement for the project was identified and documented

In a study of 579 male and female college students (sophomores) in Spain, there were “nostatistically significant differences in outcome expectations or goals.”15 This was based onquestions related to a students’ appreciation for an engineering degree positively influencingtheir professional career, and on the extent of their academic plans. The students were also askedabout their level of confidence in earning high marks on courses with basic requirements forengineering majors, and on their interest in engineering related activities such as solvingmathematical problems.

Whilethere are potential workarounds for the cost of running our laboratory courses, our largest costsare associated with the stipend our students receive during their 9-month internship. Studentscurrently receive a stipend of $2,652 a month for their internship. For 10 students, this costamounts to $238,680 for the duration of their internship. From discussions with our AdvisoryCommittee, this is a necessary component of the internship portion of our program.

This process is punctuated by aTeam Update Meeting (TUM) with the team and the instructor, which has a similar structure tothe first meeting. Finally, the team submits a process recipe (or multiple recipes for multiplereactors) for release to high volume manufacturing and presents an oral and written report.
