informal study groups. In follow upinterviews and focus groups, students also chose to discuss their experiences in study groups(83%) or lab groups (82%) but also commented frequently on their participation in professionalsocieties. Of these students, most (87%) found benefit in participating in these groups, and amajority of the students (72%) felt that they benefitted in ways related to operating within thegroup as an integral part of the team. Most students stressed the social learning provided by thegroup as compared to a single individual working alone.IntroductionABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) requires that every undergraduateengineering student is active in teams (either formed by faculty or self-assembled) at

Polytechnic State University (CPSU). Jointly offered by the Collegesof Liberal Arts and Engineering, LSE is understood as a fourth “computing discipline” by theDepartment of Computer Science (alongside computer engineering, computer science, andsoftware engineering). Admission to the program is by internal transfer only. Accepted studentscomplete rigorous technical education, including 44 units of support courses shared with theCollege of Engineering as well as the CPSU General Education curriculum; 34-35 units ofadditional coursework in an engineering specialization (computer graphics OR electricalengineering (power) OR industrial/manufacturing engineering (systems design) OR anindividualized course of study); 24 units of additional coursework in a

engineering curriculum: They exist side-by-side, institutionally parallel as opposed to convergent. Therefore, an element of bait-and-switchremains, but the outlet of creative, synthetic, hands-on design in an intimate, supportive learningenvironment is both present and institutionally legitimated as part of students’ formalizededucational experience. This arrangement challenges the logic of exclusion prevalent within theengineering-only programming by overlaying a logic of engagement on top of the standardfundamentals-first engineering curriculum.

industry and academia. Through his research on product modeling, variant design, design-with-manufacture integration, standardized product data ex- change, as well as digital and virtual engineering he has made numerous contributions to the advance- ment of cross-disciplinary integrated design of complex engineered systems. At the Georgia Institute of Technology (USA) he started spearheading research on Cloud-based Design and Manufacturing, now an emerging high-impact area in which he and his team stand at the forefront. A passionate educator, Dr. Schaefer also conducts research on design education, personalized learning, distance learning, and professional faculty development. His work has resulted in approximately 130

educational subjects. Most of the sessions were guided and led byexperienced faculty from the Education or Liberal Arts fields. There was a small numberof engineering faculty who would attend these meetings. In the early 2000’s, a Center forthe Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) was started for the entire campus bythe Dean of Academic Affairs, and a half-time position was created and staffed byAndrawis, a campus Electrical Engineering professor, who retired in 2013. For severalyears, she used workshops and seminars too stress SoTL as an area of research forfaculty, in addition to their professional field’s research. From Andrawis’s19 perspective,SoTL involves the integration of teaching with the scholarship of research. She furtherexplained

Figure 2- MATLAB Marina WebpageAs part of this model, students were also instructed to post their questions online in a discussiongroup with the purpose of initiating 2-way communication hub for students and faculty toexchange ideas and ask and answer questions in an informal setting. Participation in this activitywas required and students were assigned participation grades based on each their activity. Theseonline discussions were necessary to help the faculty prepare a 15-minute lecture review which isan integral part of this hybrid model. The lecture review was incorporated to provide interactivediscussion between students and faculty inside the classroom. After the lecture

curriculum should emphasize their value and reinforce theirimportance in students’ future engineering careers4. Instructors who teach team skills, or whointegrate effective team practices into the design of projects, can set student teams up forsuccess, maximize their learning, and enhance students’ ability to work on teams in the future.Teaching these skills can be challenging however, which led us to create a brief research-basedvideo that integrates research and theory relevant to engineering student teams, from the fields ofengineering education and Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology, a field that studiesbehavior at work. The purpose of this paper is to provide a resource to educators who want tolearn more about the practices
