Hierarchical Learning Ensembles: Team Building for Undergraduate Scientists and Engineers
DiLisi, Gregory A.; Eppell, Steven J.; Upton, Jan
Journal of College Science Teaching, v35 n5 p21-25 Mar-Apr 2006
We describe the design and implementation of our Hierarchical Learning Ensemble (HLE) model, a pedagogy that assembles interdisciplinary teams of graduate, undergraduate, and secondary-level students to solve science and engineering problems. Our goal is to sensitize undergraduates to working in heterogeneous groups and thus better prepare them for the workplace.
