Scaffolding from instructors may reduce harmful (often process andrelationship) conflict and help students understand the importance of necessary (often task) conflict. KEYWORDSTeam-member effectiveness, task conflict, process conflict, relationship conflictIntroduction Just like design or mathematics, teamwork is an important skill that universities try toteach their engineering students.

For the EM student, those skills shouldbe developed in areas of particular interest for the aspiring engineering manager, i.e., the bridgingbetween technology and the technology worker with the management and finance components ofcompetitive business operations. With the growth of EM and a recognition of the need to graduateengineers possessing the harder (not softer) skills associated with managing and developing humancapital, the challenge to develop students having real skills continues to grow.

The Explore EngineeringProgram aimed to spark an early interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) through the use of hands-on activities. Participants spent each day looking at variousengineering fields offered by the University of Arkansas.This camp uses a University of Arkansas approved Internal Review Board (IRB) protocol for theuse of human subjects. A pre and post survey is used to determine the immediate impact of thecamp. Participants are given the pre-survey at the beginning of the first day and the post-surveyat the end of the last day. It is part of the program and therefore has a near 100% completion rate.The approved protocol includes the ability to track each
