links between each team member’s perception of shared team experiencesand the team’s overall levels of effectiveness. Based on these findings, it seems reasonable toconclude that analysis of perceptual data from a larger number of team members would yieldincreased levels of understanding of these interactions. For these reasons, this expanded studyshared research questions similar to the original case study: ≠ How do individual members of Capstone Design Teams perceive and describe types/forms of team communication and collaboration? ≠ How do team members support their own perceptions? ≠ Does a relationship exist between team members’ perceptions of shared group experiences and the ability to transfer “lessons learned

Emphasize time on task.6. Communicate high expectations.7. Respect diverse talents and ways of learning.Traditional face-to-face instruction provides on-going opportunities to structure the learningenvironment in class in ways that incorporate these best practices. Cooperative learning strategies(See [4]) and classroom assessment (See [5], [6]) are well-established pedagogies that we haveboth used for years.

design solution. During the first semester, the students present their research to one another with potential solutions to problems. Faculty act as moderators attempting to keep the students on track, and within some reasonable budget. The big question for this project was whether to use an equatorial3 or altitude azimuth4 design for the telescope’s rotation. The equatorial is a far simpler design for tracking the stars as it only needs to rotate about one axis once it is set up. However, the mechanical issues were far more difficult, and an altitude azimuth arrangement was chosen. Fortunately for this project, the students continued to work on the design issues through the fall semester while they were doing their last

, rather than listening passively to a lecture. If students informally assist one another inthis process, the technique is deemed to be collaborative learning [2]. PBL builds on ACL byintroducing engaging real-world problems for students to solve as part of a group [2]. A newtwist on PBL is the inclusion of student skills associated with an entrepreneurial mindset, such asintegrating information from many sources to gain insight and/or identifying unexpectedopportunities to create value. The resulting EML activities emphasize “discovery, opportunityidentification, and value creation with attention given to effectual thinking over causal(predictive) thinking” [3].Atman et al.
