, and emotional intelligence emerge.1. Introduction1.1 Teamwork in Engineering EducationEffective teamwork is a common theme in engineering education. Teamwork skills frequentlyrank at the top of desired engineering skills lists, along with analysis, problem solving, design,and communication,3 and the ability to work well in teams appears in the current and proposedfuture set of ABET Student Outcomes for programs accredited by the Engineering AccreditationCommission.4 Team projects are a hallmark of engineering curricula, especially in laboratorycourses and capstone design courses. Many engineering educators discuss strategies for teachingteamwork skills to their students, especially through collaborative and cooperative learningapproaches.5

and learning process. The goal of this project is to explore the educational philosophiesenacted in the most impactful undergraduate classrooms, according to graduate students’perceptions, in order to give the new educator a foundation for their own course design process.Previous ResearchWhy Examine Students’ Perceptions of Learning Environments?At the start of the new semester, students enter a classroom not as “blank slates,” but withparticular conceptions about teaching and learning based on their prior experiences5. As a result,the effects of learning activities and perceptions of classroom interactions among the instructorand the students may differ by student5,8. Further, research has also shown that students’conceptions about teaching

The course is multidisciplinary and is conducted as a jointoffering with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and theDepartment of Civil and Mechanical Engineering.The Thermal-Fluids course devotes 3.0 credit hours to engineering topics of which 2.5 credits areallotted to engineering science and 0.5 credits are allotted to design. The course is the secondcourse in a three-part course engineering sequence that non-engineer majors must take as aninstitutional requirement. The purpose of the three course sequence is to give the students abasic engineering understanding, but more importantly to help them learn

those activities are properly designed.BYOD in the Measurements and Analysis CourseMeasurements and Analysis with Thermal Science Application is a required junior level coursefor mechanical engineers at Northeastern University. The course consists of three lectures andone lab section per week. It covers topics such as statistical data analysis, experimental design,and measurement of engineering quantities such as pressure, temperature, strain, fluid flow, andheat transfer. Seven lab experiments are performed in teams of 3-4 students during the course ofthe term. Each team is also required to do a term project in which they design, execute, andreport on a measurement experiment of their choosing. These projects have ranged frommeasurements of
