Thereare five well documented stages of team development (forming-storming-norming-performing-adjourning) as illustrated in Figure 1 per Tuckman [35] who indicated these phases are allnecessary and inevitable in order for a team to grow, face up to challenges, tackle problems, findsolutions, plan work, and deliver results. Over time team effectiveness increases as the team beginsto norm. We have found that integrated (where different roles are specialized but the members ofthe team interact in planned and controlled ways), diverse, and complementary teams (where teammembers are not just integrated but also complement each other) [36] are the most effective andcan achieve the performing stage more quickly.

A well-structured teaching method not onlyfacilitates knowledge transfer but also encourages students to challenge their preconceptions andmotivates them to learn [1]. When it comes to engineering education, there are unique peculiaritiesdue to the specific competencies required in this field.

DevelopmentGoals. In 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution for 2030 that included SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs). These SDGs have prompted changes to the engineering field to solvethese broad issues by increasing the capabilities and capacity of engineering through theinvolvement of young, student populations. It also prompts a change in engineering education tofocus more on sustainability in the curriculum [18].One final solution is the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Strategic Plan.

of complexity. Jonassen definedproblem solving as “a goal-directed sequence of cognitive operations” essential for everydaysituations [1-3]. In engineering courses, problem solving is a multi-step process in whichstudents need to understand the problem, determine which equations and principles are necessaryto solve the problem, devise a plan to solve the problem, execute the plan, and verify that thesolution is correct. Depending on the complexity of the problem, a problem can have one ormultiple solutions. Story problems, also known as word problems, are the most common form ofproblem solving in formal education [2, 3]. Story problems contain a quantitative problemembedded in a narrative or story.Metacognition refers to the processes used
