Therefore, engineering schools must preparestudents with teamwork skills and incorporate teamwork as a significant part of their engineeringcurricula (ABET, 2021).Team participation is typically evaluated through peer evaluations or through instructorobservation of individual team members. Several tools have been developed to assess individualperformance, such as the Team Effectiveness Questionnaire (TEQ) or the ComprehensiveAssessment of Team Member Effectiveness (CATME). These assessment tools are based onself-reflections or peer evaluations. However, the efficacy of these tools has been questioned.At the University of

Initially, the individual technical writing assignment (ITW) and the individual oralpresentation (IOP) were chosen as the tools to assess the course outcomes tied to effectivecommunication, and the engineering professionalism goals. Critical thinking was seen more asthe domain of problem solving. However, this meant that the focus of the individual technicalwriting was very narrow in its purpose. The initial focus of that assessment was to demonstratecompetence in writing using a technical style, citing peer-reviewed work, and including correctinformation.

Furthermore, as new technologies continue to progress rapidly and coursecontent and laboratory instrumentation continue to evolve in order to keep pace, laboratorymanuals will also have to be revised frequently in order to stay relevant and effective. A laboratory manual revision process was developed in this study in order to supportthese new types of laboratory classes. It is a four-step process, which includes: 1) CollectingAudience Responses, 2) Scaffolding the Class Project, 3) Project Report Writing Requirementand 4) Peer-Review and Reflection.

The author observed a few cases of students who would take the 5% cut for nothaving peer review done at all. He also noted that there were cases of students writing notes tothe effect, “My work did not match my reviewer’s work, but I could not find the error.” Closerinspection of these comments usually found that peer review was almost always done within the15 minutes prior to the turn-in deadline, thus
