Peers have suggested which division might bemost appropriate for a given paper. There also has been collaboration with otheruntenured faculty outside of the engineering technology division.Professional development in the technical disciplines may be more difficult for untenuredfaculty at small teaching schools.

Students were enrolled in mandatory first-year engineering courses at the research site, wherestudents were systematically assigned to teams for learning and projects. Students were asked toparticipate in the survey four times per course, roughly at the stages of the beginning of the course, thebeginning, the middle and the end of the of the team final projects. Students were instructed to provideconstructive feedback in writing to themselves and teammates via CATME interfaces on their teamworkbehaviors.To analyze students’ peer comments on teamwork behaviors, we utilized natural language processing andmachine learning techniques, and qualitative
