However,during the second semester, the team performed with much greater cohesion. When the studentswere asked if working on the wind tunnel project had given them more confidence prior toentering the workforce, 2 students replied “yes/very much” and 4 replied “fairly well.” All CDCteam members were proud of the final product with 4 responding “yes/very much” and 2responding “fairly well.” Finally, 4

Students might resent us for having them do more work and that is alrightbecause it will take time for them to develop the skill and it is hard to see its benefits right away.Along the way some encouragement helps keep students motivated. Collaboration betweeninstructors is also important for consistency and permanency of the skill, so it is favorable if thestudents are using similar layouts throughout their program. The author is planing to collect follow-up feedback form the same students before theygraduate.
