TL;DR: The authors found that engineering students are typical of students in other majors with respect to: persistence in major; persistence by gender and ethnicity; racial/ethnic distribution; and grade distribution, concluding that engagement is a precursor to persistence.

TL;DR: The authors used self-and peer evaluations when they use teamwork in their classes, which is common in management education, however, the process is often time consuming and frequent and frequentl...

TL;DR: Integrated curricula have connections to a larger movement in higher education, which help learners to build interdisciplinary links and social links within a community as discussed by the authors, and have provided concrete assessment data on retention and student performance to augment research on learning communities.

TL;DR: In this paper, an instrument was designed to measure individuals' self-concepts toward engineering design tasks, and three research questions were investigated: (a) how well the items in the instrument represent the engineering design process in eliciting the task-specific selfconcepts of self-efficacy, motivation, outcome expectancy, and anxiety, and (b) the instrument predicts differences in the selfefficacy held by individuals with a range of engineering experiences.

TL;DR: The Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness (CAPE) as mentioned in this paper ) is a team member effectiveness instrument that measures 29 types of team member contributions with 3 items each. These fall into five categories (contributing to the team's work; interacting with teammates; keeping the team on track; expecting quality; and having relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities).
