Education, 2019 First-Year Civil Engineering Students’ Knowledge and Confidence in the Use of Visualization and Representation Tools to Solve Engineering ProblemsThis complete evidence-based practice will describe how first-year engineering students areencouraged to use sketching as a method of problem solving. First-Year Civil Engineeringstudents come to their programs with a diverse array of skills and motivations. Previous researchby the authors indicates that students often choose engineering as a major due to guidancecounsellor and parental recommendations based on their performance in math and science coursesin high school and the professional prospects afforded by an engineering degree.

Teamsof students from multiple campuses worked on design, manufacturing, and testing of a dynamicmechanism. Due to the cross-campus collaborative nature of this project and in the absence oflittle to no face-to-face interaction between team members, a key factor in success of the teamwas to manage team effort through an effective project management strategy.
