As such, it isimportant that undergraduate engineering programs prepare students to work with others in anonline setting since the prevalence of virtual teams within the workforce continues to grow.Additionally, it has been found that online teamwork can help students work out of their comfortzone, develop group cohesiveness, and better students’ negotiation skills [7]. However, there arealso various obstacles and challenges students face when working on projects virtually.

be a “good” engineer.IntroductionIn 2004, the National Academies of Engineering released the “The Engineer of 2020: Visions ofEngineering in the New Century” report in an effort to highlight the role engineers would hold inour future society [1]. A topic of discussion was the impact of the engineer on societal changes,focusing mainly on the importance of incorporating social contexts into engineering. TheNational Academy of Engineering envisioned an era of engineering education that resulted inengineers that are “leaders, able to balance the gains afforded by new technologies with thevulnerabilities created by their byproducts without compromising the well-being of society andhumanity” [1, p. 19].
