engineering concepts through examples from their own livesis a powerful way to help engage students. It helped to deepen student understanding of coursematerial, and got students to start asking questions about other applications of engineeringprinciples rather than just reproducing calculations. It also helped to get students more involvedin lectures and helped turn the lectures into active learning exercises. This experience has led theinstructor to reexamine some of the examples that are used in other classes to see how they couldbetter connect to students.5. Bibliography1.

In a previous study,we defined student’s team skills through a three-construct theoretical model: interdependency,goal setting and potency. This model entails possible application in both pedagogy andassessment. Peer evaluation has been used as an effective instrumentation tool to assess students’team skills and performance5,6,7,8,9.
