active and cooperativelearning could better motivate the students and help to transform them from passive recipients ofother people's knowledge into active constructors of their own and others' knowledge. Twoeffective methods of student-centered teaching include active/collaborative learning andinductive teaching and learning (ITL). Based on my experience of supervising 16 undergraduateson a collaborative biomedical research project over the past four years, a research-based learning(RBL) model has been developed that makes important addition to current ITL methods.The proposed RBL model shares some of the common features of ITL in that it is a student-centered and process-centered inductive approach. It also has the following features

Education, 2016 Effective building and development of student teamwork using personality types in engineering coursesAbstractEngineers have a high calling of contributing to the betterment of humanity. Engineering projectshave become more complicated in recent years. One solution to solving complex problems andworking on engineering projects is team building. Competent and effective team buildingrequires time and effort in the workplace or school. To best prepare students to meet theengineering profession’s demands and the needs of experienced professionals, teamwork andteam building need to be taught in the educational system. Teamwork is also a necessarycomponent of an engineering education. This paper presents

Although there were concerns that thetechnical knowledge of new students might be insufficient to undertake a course in design,experience now shows that these courses can be successfully integrated into engineeringprograms as early as the first year7-12.Because design is a skill or behavior that is acquired with experience23 but also based ontechniques and tools10, it is advisable to offer students the opportunity to gain various experiencesthroughout their education from courses in engineering science and also from project-orientedcourses that specifically

The premise was that the team supervisor (me) had requested somework and the team was updating me on what they had found. Each assignment had fewerproblems than a typical homework assignment but focused on exploring a topic in more depth. Icalled the assignments mini-projects. The presentations were informal in that the students couldscan their handwritten notes and share them during our virtual meeting instead of creating aPowerpoint presentation.
