Of particular interest is the efficacyof collaborative learning approaches in general for individual engineering students. Our results froma large scale experiment provide no evidence that working on a successful and effective team affectsindividual exam performance. Thus, we will propose a qualitative study to determine the best waysto structure team work to enhance individual leaning.IntroductionFor a number of reasons, team-based projects are frequently included in software engineeringprograms. Educators integrate team projects into the curriculum to emulate real worlddevelopment situations, expose students to the challenges and benefits of

, may result in fewer minority studentsas well [1], [6].Fear of racism – research suggests that students who are susceptible to stereotype threat(potential interpretations of ones’ actions through an existing negative lens) often respond byadjusting behavior patterns to minimize or avoid similar situations [11]. Students of color andmore often African American college students at predominantly white institutions are oftenalready vulnerable to such negativism. Since study abroad is rarely required as part of theundergraduate curriculum, they are more likely to decline the opportunity even in the presence ofother incentives [11], [6]. Studying abroad is often marketed as a means to improve ones’ crosscultural experience. For the minority student

: Competency Management Hall and LeCavalier (2000) define competency management as " individualized, Web-enabled curriculum maps or learning profiles based on job analyses" (p. 66). These maps orprofiles allow the learner to select and proceed toward an educational path by placing theresponsibility of learning in the student's hands. In lieu of pre-determined, static requirements,students would be allowed the opportunity to choose their path of study. As with traditional methods of education, rewards may be incorporated within thelearning process. One thought regarding rewards is to motivate the student through relevance topersonal activities or goals. The more applicable or interesting the subject matter is to the targetaudience, the

inengineering education as engineering curriculum focuses primarily on the technical skills neededto be an engineer. One route to teaching these reflective skills is with self-assessment (SA). SAhas value in the classroom due to the learning benefits and skills it promotes, includingmetacognition and self-efficacy, while providing the student with a chance to reflect on their ownwork. SA has been used in a variety of settings with different methods of implementation but thereare only a few documented uses in engineering.

It is a small, agile learning nucleus within a larger organization andit does not depend upon particular pieces of sophisticated experimental equipment. Its modusoperandi is organic, situated and contingent. It is part of the community of practice not remotefrom it.

Student teamsdesign a production system for an existing product. The products have been as varied as caststeel flow control valves, printed circuit boards and fishing reels. Integrated into the fabric of theproject, students are challenged to critique the product design to improve manufacturability andreduce cost. The first three stages of

components these days arefar too small and complex to allow an inquisitive student to explore and satisfy their curiosityabout how these gadgets work. These students often take to exploring mechanical systemsinstead and are thus led away from Electrical and Computer Engineering. Similarly, withadvances in computer simulations of engineering circuits and models that produce realisticresults, engineering programs have transitioned away from physical hardware and hands-onexperimentation. This trend away from having students being able to "tinker" with real hardwareis detrimental to their development into well rounded engineers. In addition, as globalizationcontinues, engineers must broaden their team-work and technical skills.This paper describes a

The problem cannot be due to a fault in the cam tables because the phase difference isvaries along with speed of the servomotors (Experiment 2).The servomotors are controlled by proportional-integral-derivative controllers (PID Controllers).This is a generic control loop feedback mechanism (controller).
