instructors as to how theyshould guide a team that is struggling with interpersonal conflict and/or difficulty in completingproject work cooperatively.BackgroundIt is widely agreed that the ability to function productively on a team is an important engineeringskill [1]. This ability is also a common learning outcome in project-based introductoryengineering courses [2]. Quite often, student teams are not self-selected, in order to simulatesimilar situations in the engineering workplace, and to prompt students to develop additionalflexibility and objectivity toward fellow team members’ diverse educational, cultural, andbehavioral orientations. Since these courses and teams often last for only one semester, theamount of time to develop this ability is

Finally, we briefly discuss the implications of such acomparative literature review for constructing a more comprehensive, culturally responsiveapproach to defining, developing, and assessing teamwork.1. IntroductionThere has been increasing pressure on higher education institutions to be accountable forprofessional outcomes since approximately the mid-1980s [1]. Especially since the 1990s and theintensification of globalization, higher engineering education in the United States hasexperienced numerous calls for increased accountability due to public concerns about the qualityof engineering and engineers [2].

To this end, a comparativestudy between the use of a traditional static textbook and an interactive, online textbook on studentperformance is presented.The authors of this study previously developed an interactive online textbook titled “Statics andMechanics of Materials: An Example-based Approach” using Top Hat’s teaching and learningplatform [1].

BackgroundRound Robin Design The format of student feedback and evaluation data collected from team collaborations inengineering education settings usually coincides with a round-robin format, where each studentwithin a particular team provides feedback to every other team member, as illustrated in Figure1. In this example, there are four students, students 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each student provides feedbackto others, as the arrows show. Specifically, student 1 gives feedback to students 2, 3, and 4;meanwhile, student 2 provides feedback to students 1, 3, and 4; the same goes for students 3 and4.Figure 1An Example Illustrating Round-Robin Design with Four Participants The use of round-robin data in engineering education applications is often

It sends energyworth $400 billion annually through seven million miles of transmission and distribution lines inthe U.S.[1]. Although the grid has been improved and upgraded over the last decades, blackoutsare becoming more frequent throughout the U.S. and worldwide.

Recent literature in the learning sciences expands on this evidence bypositioning affect and motivation as epistemic [5]. That is, the emotions that engineersexperience in the doing of engineering are themselves entangled with acts of building knowledgein engineering. By necessity, learning engineering must also attend to learning how one feelswhen doing engineering [6]. Therefore, the learning that undergraduate students engage in is aninherently emotional, or affective, process.
