, R1institution. All three sections had different instructors and a class size of around 50 students. One of thethree sections implemented a technology that allowed students to connect to a teammate’s computer andshare control of keyboard/mouse, enabling real-time collaborative programming in a normallyindividual programming environment. The other two sections were control sections with no specificimplementation differences. A survey instrument grounded in Burch et al.’s conceptual framework wasdeveloped and distributed at strategic times to measure students’ engagement with their team and in-class programming tasks. Results presented include a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) that supportsthe factor structure of the student engagement survey and an

However, all enrolled students were included in thestudy as CATME ratings from their teammates were still available.Description of teamwork assignmentsStudents were placed into teams of 4-5 members based on responses to the CATME teamformation survey. For the first team project, each team chose one of the 14 Engineering GrandChallenges [8] and were tasked with researching the challenge. The purpose of the project was toinvestigate the societal problem(s) the Challenge seeks to address and to identify recentengineering advances that address their chosen Challenge. Teams were instructed to create awritten report and a short (3-4 min) video to share their findings with the rest of the class.In Fall 2022, the

The imtool(imagename) in MATLABproduces an interactive version of the image that lets students see the values for the RGB (RedGreen Blue) levels as well as the X and Y coordinates of a pixel in the image.
