IntroductionGroup projects in engineering and computer science coursework are a critical part of the educationprocess. Not only do they enforce the concepts being taught, they also provide an environment inwhich essential professional skills (aka, soft skills) can be understood, culminating in a synergisticlearning experience. The value of such group learning has been well documented in bothengineering and computer science courses [1]-[5], and is a cornerstone to the

UniversityDr. Stephanie Cutler, The Pennsylvania State UniversityProf. Dawn McFadden, The Pennsylvania State University Abstract Working in teams is a vital component within the chemical engineering profession [1]. For senior chemical engineering students, the capstone design course provides an opportunity for students to work in teams to develop their teamwork skills in preparation for their future career. To better emphasize that necessary professional skills, especially teamwork, the Penn State Chemical Engineering capstone design course was redesigned for the 2017-2018 academic year. This paper aims to investigate student perceptions on their teamwork

Inresponse to these incidents, universities are now required by ABET to include process safetyinstruction as part of their chemical engineering (ChE) program’s curriculum, specifying thatprograms must “include the engineering application of these basic sciences to the design,analysis, and control of chemical, physical, and/or biological processes, including the hazardsassociated with these processes” [2].

Further,communication across the disciplines scholars (i.e., a focus on how communication skills may fitand translate in a variety of majors) have stressed the importance of embedding communicationinto program curriculum [2].

The research questions thatdrove this study are: (1) How do students’ solutions to a complex, open-ended problem (bothwritten and coded solutions) develop over the course of multiple submissions? and (2) How dothese developments compare across groups of students that did and did not participate in a coursecentered around modeling?.
