For all courses, baseline data werecollected from the same classes taught by the same instructors in the previous year.Results from the first year of implementation indicated significant benefits for the EGCframework, as well as differences in effectiveness across settings.

[1]. Today, manyfirst-year students typically have little hands-on experience related to engineering [2]. Manyhave never used common tools before and do not know how common devices, such as carengines, actually work. Stephen Belkoff, an engineering professor at Johns Hopkins, noted thelack of practical skills for incoming freshmen, “These are all A students, and it took two days tobuild a shelf from Home Depot and get it @$$-backwards” [3]. While they are generally verycomputer savvy, incoming freshmen have little experience with engineered equipment. Studentsdo get experience with equipment in a variety of labs and in their capstone projects during thecourse of their college careers, but neither of these may be with actual equipment used

. Therefore, multi-disciplinary problem solving teams have been animportant part of the contemporary organizational culture today. However, analyzing a problemwith a multi-disciplinary perspective demands more than putting together a team of membersfrom various disciplines and backgrounds. The multi-disciplinary nature of a team does notguarantee successful team performance. The research shows that the performance of a teamdepends on how effectively team members are able to share information, assign tasks based onthe strengths of team members, coordinate tasks, and provide feedback to one another.1 Forexample, the high failure rate observed in information technology (IT) projects has beenattributed to the lack of professional skills in project teams
