Team-based learninghas been shown in previous studies to improve students’ academic achievement, persistence,intrinsic motivation, and attitude toward subject areas compared to more traditional methods oflearning, and it can

instructor for several courses including Introduction to Engineering, Introduction to Materials and Manufacturing, and Structural and Chemical Characterization of Materials.Dr. Robin Fowler, University of Michigan Robin Fowler is a lecturer in the Program in Technical Communication at the University of Michigan. She enjoys serving as a ”communication coach” to students throughout the curriculum, and she’s especially excited to work with first year and senior students, as well as engineering project teams, as they navigate the more open-ended communication decisions involved in describing the products of open-ended design scenarios. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Gender

aspect to the successful performance of student teams is communication. Student teamsnegotiate many aspects of collaboration, including deadlines, meeting times, and expectations.Previous works have found that the different meanings which people place on commonly usedwords or phrases often lead to miscommunications in the professional workplace. It is unknown,however, how this situation translates to the collegiate setting, specifically on team-basedprojects, the manners that this could potentially affect the progress of the students, and if thereare any differences in interpretation of these phrases that are along demographic lines. In thisstudent-directed project, participants (n=119) of varying technical backgrounds were surveyed asto their

Retention Program offers tutorial sessions and career services.The mentors perform a comprehensive analysis of each student’s academic records in order to monitorthe pace of progress throughout the program. Upon completing eighty (80) percent of the program, thestudents are advised to meet the Department Head in order to plan for a successful completion of theundergraduate capstone design project in conjunction with a local industry. The students are alsomentored and encouraged to participate in the activities of the professional engineering societies, suchas ASME, IEEE, ASHRAE, SAE, etc.Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, North Carolina (NC) State University, USAThis is a department much larger than the previous ones discussed here
