The obdurate habit of over-specification cansimply manifest itself in different ways—although we ought to consider in the same light TF-3’s ownrecommendation to include within Criterion 3 only those outcomes that can be reliably achieved.11As already alluded to above, what stymies effective solutions in engineering education is hardly limited tothe disciplinary habits and boundaries of engineering; the reasons go back to the structure of U.S.educational institutions and the engineering profession itself. With regards to the latter, engineers shouldstop worrying that theirs is somehow an incomplete profession. Sociologists

theindividual students’ roles. CATME is a short, web-based survey that collects and analyzes self-and peer-evaluation feedback. A behaviorally-anchored rating scale is utilized to assesscontributions of each team member in five areas based on the team effectiveness literature (Ohlandet al., (2012)23. The grade for each team-based component is multiplied by the CATME factor foreach student and that is the score entered for the student. As such, if a student does not pull his/herweight, s/he is penalized by the rest of the team and gets a lower grade than the rest of the teammembers. Conversely, if a student goes above and beyond the norm, s/he is recognized by theteammates and gets a higher grade than the original team score.It should be noted that

The goal is to attain the benefits of group work while providingjust in time coaching to address any conceptual issues as they occur. Although group orteam-based learning has its advantages, it still has well-known disadvantages. The maindrawback being the student who is not participating may have less effective learning expe-riences as compared to the more gregarious and/or confident students who actually solvethe problem. The purpose of this paper is to discuss this technique in the context of teach-ing undergraduate dynamics, although we believe it can be applied in other undergraduatescience
