Environmental Engineering, 1947 N. 12th Street,Philadelphia, PA 19122ABSTRACT It is a known fact that most engineering problems are complex and challenging, therebyrequiring the collective skills, experiences, and knowledge of several engineers to tackle them. Asa result, many potential engineering employers consider the ability to work in teams an essentialand sought-after skill when hiring new talents. In cognizance of the afore-stated fact, theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology emphasizes, as one of its criteria, thepreparation of students to function in high performing teams upon completion of their studies.Consequently, this survey study seeks to explore the effectiveness of teamwork and team-basedlearning as perceived by
