waste casks.The effectiveness of this collaborative module in promoting cross-disciplinary learning wasassessed through an analysis of student responses to an anonymous survey. The results show thatthe module was effective in (a) teaching students the fundamental principles of diffusion, (b)fostering peer-to-peer teaching and learning, and (c) emphasizing the importance of teamworkand problem-solving across disciplines. The results also indicate that students developed abroader view regarding the applicability of their knowledge beyond their own disciplinaryboundaries. Given its universality, this materials-focused teaching module has the potential toserve as an effective model to foster interdisciplinary teaching and learning between

In this work, the optimizationalgorithm for design team selection includes an objective that maximizes the diversity of theMBTI characteristics of the team, while incentivizing the selection of a leader (or leaders) oneach team. A leader is considered to be either: a) A single student with an MBTI personality type that includes EN (Extroverted INtuitor), corresponding to a leadership score of 1; or b) Two students, each with an MBTI personality type that includes IN (Introverted INtuitor) and EF (Extroverted Feeler), corresponding to a leadership score of 0.1 and 0.9, respectively.An EN personality is generally creative, social, and logical, and capable of seeing “the bigpicture” 11– all traits that make strong

As the class average was above80%, we can consider this result to indicate satisfactory proficiency overall. A second example(1P) involves the behavior of a sequential logic element: the JK flip-flop (FF). Given a diagramof the JK FF with a negative-edge triggered clock input, and a timing diagram showing the pulsetrain waveforms for the clock, J and K inputs, the student was to predict the output of the JK FF.On this item, students scored an average of 4.35 out of 5 points.
