, 2017 Teams and Team Building at Baylor University: Why Should We Do This and Where Should This Occur in the Curriculum?AbstractExperience with teams is a desirable outcome with employers. Academic programs often havestudent teams accomplish course, design, and lab projects starting with the freshmen introductorycourses and culminating with capstone senior design. Where do students learn about teams in thecurriculum? How do they learn to be good team members? It seems the most pervasive approachto teams in higher education is a “sink or swim” attitude where teams are allowed to form on theirown and work out any issues that arise. Little, if any, formal instruction on being a team memberis given throughout the curriculum. Even less

 Essential Teamwork and Leadership skills  The engineering design process  Civil Engineering  Mechanical Engineering  Electrical EngineeringEven though students were introduced to all types of engineering, they only did hands-on, minds-on activities on three major engineering disciplines: civil, mechanical, and electrical through acomprehensive project that combined the three.PreparationEngineering is quite a broad field so the instructor had to be very careful on how to introduce itto the students and how to make students interested in the subject as well as keep them engagedduring the program since they had to spend about 6.5 hrs every day from Monday to Friday inthe classroom. To achieve this, a balance among concepts, hands-on

This data, combined with an ethical thinking survey and self-efficacy assessment,resulted in a number of statistically significant differences. The authors propose that “the integra-tion of ethics and design holds promise as a way of fostering the development of professional skillsamong engineering students.” Nicola Brown, from Massey University, New Zealand, describes the implementation and evalua-tion of a website based assessment tool for project based learning. Used with first year engineer-ing students, the author found that developing a website rather than writing a report was a lessonerous task for most students. In addition, developing

A project-based approach, which includes design ideation and thinkingin the context of individual and team projects, is incorporated to promote engagedlearning. Design thinking is a creative process based on the generation of many ideas andthe selection of really good ideas from the many. In order to do this it is necessary tothink generatively and postpone judgements on the ideas that emerge. Encouragingstudents to think outside their usual ways of thinking(2) is an important feature of theprocess since this can often lead to novel solutions.
