There exist at the personal level core software engineering competencies that needto be cultivated to allow an individual to fulfill their potential as an effective team contributor.Students in a course introducing team based software engineering typically possess adequateintroductory programming skills, but often lack other competencies required to execute asoftware project successfully. Students have rarely been introduced to concepts beyondprogramming, such as estimation and planning, continuous integration, detailed design,debugging and unit testing.

Thesecommunities are used to build a sense of group identity and cohesiveness so that students maybuild a better understanding of the material they are learning (Clark et al., 2003; Astin, 1992).Transitioning from the importance of student teamwork to faculty teamwork in curriculumdevelopment is evident in a number of additional papers.

Peermentorship training and expectations were provided as part of the Control Systems course.Individual peer mentors were assigned to first-year engineering project groups completing aproject in their Intro to Engineering course. This course has no TA support, making it a goodchoice for leveraging student peer mentors.

Some students will be able to perform the analysisand manipulate the equations describing the geometry concepts by applying general algorithmicsolutions without the ability to visualize them. They are struggling to understand how geometricequations are represented within a physical space and this becomes even more difficult when westart to consider them in 3D. More advanced operations such as projections, dot and crossproducts may also be quite difficult to visualize, plot and predict. This ability to model complexsystems using an FBD (Free Body Diagram) and system of equations is the enabling skillset forsuccessful mastery of fundamental mechanics courses.
