Incropera and Fox note that “...design, interpreted broadly provided the best platformfor launching appropriate curriculum changes.” They also note that “Issues such as customer 13requirements, manufacturability, cost, safety/liability...” are to be included. One problem is thegeneral lack of safety, health, and environmental material in design texts. 6Maine and Ward note a lack of safety engineering methods and tools in "classic" design texts
laboratory components plays a significant role in theenhancement and completeness of the engineering courses and programs. Twelve experimentsare presented for adaptation in undergraduate mechanical and civil engineering programs. Theseexperiments are related to topics in mechanics of materials and dynamics of machinery.Enthusiastic undergraduate students have been participating in the processes of research, designand development necessary for materializing all components of the Model Laboratory.

To comprehensively address themain research question, the study will explore the following sub-questions: • RQ1: What are the perceived weaknesses of teamwork as experienced by students? • RQ2: How do students in URPs navigate and resolve conflicts within their teams? • RQ3: What are the strengths of teamwork as perceived by students in URPs?By addressing these questions, the study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the roleand impact of teamwork in URPs. It seeks to offer insights into best practices for fosteringeffective teamwork in such programs and to highlight the potential areas for improvement inteam dynamics. This, in turn, can inform the design and implementation of future URPs
