The data suggest improvement in team performance. This result seemsreasonable since the program has focused more on teamwork and team-building issues during thepast five years and since the instructors of the capstone course have worked to continuouslyrefine and improve the team building and interpersonal communication lesson plans. It isimportant to note that we carefully screen the team performance scores to identify any teamsexperiencing communication problems or personality conflicts during the

Paige, oneof the three participants that report teamwork as “not important” in her work, told theinterviewer: “One of the skills you need for this job is program management, just knowing how to plan out, how to get a team going” [Paige, SPri, EPS]This seems to contradict her survey response.

, tinkerers do not plan out what they aregoing to do, nor do they use any type of process to come to a certain solution. Instead, they use aprocess of guess and check, and try different things until they find something that works—aprocess of elimination. Though Alon makes this claim, that evolution is much like a “tinkerer,”he does state that the “solutions found by evolution have much in common with goodengineering design.” He elaborates on three examples of these similarities between engineeredsystems and biological systems: modularity, robustness, and the use of recurring circuitelements.The first, modularity, Alon defines as “a set of nodes [in a system] that have strong interactionsand a common function.” In order for a set of nodes to be
