It is important for the projectassigned to be complex enough to require the work of the entire team and challenge the studentsthat are involved.3 Time limits, and deadlines that encourage the assignment to be completedthrough collaboration, are essential when designing a team project. If one student can accomplishthe task on their own, then there is no need for the team to work together.Several researchers have written about the use of assigned roles for student teams.

This issue is best captured with this quote from Mr.Bock of Google, “What we care about is, when faced with a problem and you're a member of ateam, do you, at the appropriate time, step in and lead.

, 2015 An Approach to Teaching People Skills in Senior Design Project Courses Introduction The premise of this paper is that most engineering students are ill-prepared for the demands their careers will place on them to interact with other people one-on-one, within teams, and within organizations—organizations that are often global in character. The senior design project provides an opportunity (literally a last chance) for graduating seniors to recognize and develop people skills needed for success. Because the project is intended to simulate real engineering practice, the faculty member can observe each student’s people skill level in project context and at a minimum provide insights and coaching to each student in order to improve those

Academic Boot Camp (ABC)which was initiated by the Purdue University Minority Engineering Program. It was created toaddress a nine percentage point difference between the 2004 underrepresented minority (URM)first year retention rates and the overall cohort’s retention (67% vs 76%). The program wasoffered for the first time in summer 2005. This program was designed to address transition issuesexperienced by URM students entering a majority institution through a rigorous simulation of thefirst semester engineering experience. Embracing the best practices of learning communities,engineering students are required to live, study, and attend classes together in preparation forglobal competition. Through these methods, the Academic Boot Camp aims to
