Community was recently expanded toinclude second-year students to accommodate student requests. Not only does the livingcommunity offer a way for students to develop friendships, it also creates an environment wellsuited for academic work. Our paper includes an overview of our ABE living community, whichincludes both engineering and technology students. We developed this arrangement to strengthenstudents’ existing learning communities through additional interaction with ABE peers in aliving community, to encourage interaction and collaboration between our two undergraduatestudent majors, and to increase interaction of these students with the ABE faculty. In addition,we present the results of our assessment, which includes a year-end survey, student

Robin Fowler is a Technical Communication lecturer and a Engineering Education researcher at the University of Michigan. Her teaching is primarily in team-based engineering courses, and her research focuses on equity in communication and collaboration as well as in group design decision making (judgment) under uncertainty. She is especially interested in how power relationships and rhetorical strategies affect group judgment in engineering design; one goal of this work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in technology and how

engineering courses also has a positive effect on students’ spatial ability[17]. Beyond academia, spatial ability has also been linked to success in professional STEMfields [18].Spatial skills are malleable meaning that they can be taught and enhanced through targetedinterventions [19]. Such interventions that can be integrated into academic coursework includeactivities in engineering design, technological literacy, scientific inquiry, and mathematicalthinking [20]. The format of spatial interventions ranges from the implementation of entirecourses [21], [22] to physical manipulatives intended to teach specific concepts. Furthermore,once learned, spatial skills can be maintained over time [19].In order to effectively measure gains in spatial ability

There is a significantdrop in persistence in the third year for the 2009 cohort. The cause of this drop has not beendetermined.
