FACULTY AND STUDENT VIEWS ON ENGINEERING STUDENT TEAM EFFECTIVENESS
Краткое описание
Recent emphasis on the use of teams in the engineering curriculum has increased interaction and collaborative aspects of the learning process for engineering students and faculty. However, a corresponding emphasis on preparation for students and faculty has not occurred. The transition from individual learning in a customized environment to learning in a group environment can be challenging, even in a homogeneous team atmosphere. This process is even more complex against a backdrop of diversity, including communication style and learning style differences. This article presents results from a series of interviews and focus groups of engineering faculty and students regarding the use of teams in their courses and the benefits and challenges they believe are a direct outcome of team-oriented approaches in engineering. The results reveal training deficiencies in effective practices for team-oriented activities, and large inconsistencies in the experiences of students across disciplines.
