What are the metrics that can be assessed to determine if the team has reached its goal(s)?  Consequences: what happens if a team member does not follow the groundrules or meet the expectations described in the team charter? What types of interventions or warnings are given, and under what circumstances is a member released from the team?Developing a team charter

Out of 212 entries, 83.02% were verified, where130 entries belonged to the BE groups and 46 entries belonged to MAE groups. The next stepswere segmenting and coding the verified entries based on Dym and Little’s design phases, designactivities, and project management aspects [15].

Living off-campus can have implications in student success 35. Off-campushousing requires students to keep track of additional expenses, such as rent, groceries, and utilitybills. This living situation can also make access to student services more challenging becausestudents must travel to campus to access the services.

While the state licensure bodies monitor the professional conduct of the engineers,professional engineering bodies like National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) andAmerican Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) insist and expect their members to have goodmoral character and ethical integrity (NSPE, 2016; ASCE, 2012).However, the ethical contact and the professionalism of an engineer do not start with theengineer’s first assignment as a graduate engineer, but with what this individual learns inclassrooms as an engineering student and how s|he gets trained as an engineering intern.

Organizations recognize the importance for employees tounderstand how to work effectively with others, but also express that new employees do notbring adequate teaming skills to the workplace (S.

Despite calls to promote teamwork as “an indispensable quality forengineering”(Lingard & Barkataki, 2011) engineering schools have been generally slow indeveloping pedagogies that successfully promote collaborative behaviors.

Additional insights into quantitative relationships can be gained by graded categorizationof NSBE membership that accounts for factors such as number of years of involvement, whenthey first joined the organization (e.g. freshman vs later years), level of involvement, and otherstudent success outcomes (e.g. GPA). Exploring how and why particular associations exist canalso be supported by more rigorous qualitative explorations of NSBE members decisions topersist or leave engineering and/or the organization and what unique role NSBE played in thesedecisions.References[1] D.
