Negotiation techniques are needed in order to recombine past experiences ofdifferent individuals, and lead to new insights. Nonetheless, engineering schools often dismissteaching negotiation techniques that might be relevant for developing high performance teams2.    Techniques for achieving temporary settlements are relevant to engineering students’ training.Innovation driven projects usually have to work with ambiguity4. Teams that manage multiplepoints of view are more prepared to face that challenge because they allow the existence ofhealthy conflict.

However, while experienced researchers may be able to identify asophisticated application of such skills in which they “know it when they see it,” a need existsfor a way to consistently and systematically represent students’ varying levels of researchprocess sophistication. This would allow programs to evaluate groups of students at varyinglevels in their degree process as well as single students over time to evaluate progress.The need for a classification system to characterize the sophistication of graduate research inengineering became evident to our team in a

Most CL tasks are structured to be completed within one class period,and can be handled by groups with 2-4 members. Smaller groups are both more efficient and moreeffective than larger groups in dealing with small-scaled tasks and projects. For a thoroughcomparative study on various types of learning in small groups, which include collaborativelearning, cooperative learning and problem-based learning, see Davidson and Major (2014) 17.We adopt a mixture of team-based and cooperative learning strategies to best suit our pedagogicalneeds.
