Teamworkis a necessary skill for engineers with its significance recognized by ABET (Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology): Criterion 3, Student Outcome 5 - “Students should be able tofunction effectively as members of a technical team, and as leaders on technical teams”.Teamwork is often the key to solving the complex problems engineers face. One goal of higher education is to prepare students for their professional lives. Teamworkis imperative to solve “real-world” problems [3]. Teamwork is a highly important skill forengineers to have

The dichotomy between creatingand violence in engineering is not unique to this student. A senior engineering student explains, So I think that it is kind of weird in its history it was actually appropriated for violence all the time, but now when we think of it, we think of engineering as like a cornerstone of innovation and technology and, just of building and progress instead of destruction.47Not all students agree with the notion that creation, creativity, and building the material worldare devoid of violence.
