Critical parameters involved in settingup successful groups include preparation to work as a group; group size, student abilities, race,gender and previous experience 30. Teams should engage in teambuilding exercises before thecooperative learning exercise. Research studies have shown that teaching students cooperativebehaviors such as task-related interaction skills, sharing of ideas and information, staying on taskand helping others to understand what was being taught has a significant impact on improvingthe learning experience for everyone in the group 25,35.

needand desire to reduce the gap in student learning and real world problem solving asgraduates enter the workforce. The National Academy of Engineering has appealed toengineering programs to integrate theory and practice in the curriculum, and introducemore innovative learning methods that simulate industrial decision making in theclassroom and laboratory [1]. Hence, the challenge for engineering educators is the useof more innovative methods for instruction and learning to replicate real world problemsolving, and provide an environment for intellectual exchange of ideas and solutions in aclassroom setting. This is further reinforced by the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) to encourage the use of a cadre of tools and

The course also givesfreshman engineers an introduction to the engineering profession, engineering design, differentengineering disciplines, and critical thinking. In the fall of 2011, there were 450 students in 12 sectionstaught by an instruction team of four faculty and six graduate teaching assistants.
