5(ABET) have stressed the importance of preparing engineers to effectively work in team orientedenvironments (Lovgren, 2000).Currently, many university engineering programs promote team-work by having studentscomplete group projects. However, few teach students the necessary skills to perform effectivelyin a group environment before assigning team-work. Consequently, students may gainexperience working in teams, but they may not gain effective team-working skills, which in turnmay cause the team not to work successfully and/or to develop negative views about the value ofteam work (Chen, & Lin, 2004; Lingard, & Berry, 2002; Seat, & Lord, 1999). “In order forstudents to benefit from these team projects, efforts must be made to
