These interrelated challenges include the following: (1)Critical STEM competencies and professional licensing capability must be impartedin a traditional four year program of study. (2) Lecture based courses are moreefficient. (3) Many faculty perceive the analytical, math-intensive courses inengineering science to have higher prestige. (4) Individual learning assessment inexperiential, project-based courses is less objective and the supporting assessmentpedagogies for engineers are not well developed.

Our student groups are, by definition, temporary groups. Their time together isseldom more than a semester and usually much less. For these groups forming happens atthe first meeting and since they have a defined short term project, their direction is usuallyset quickly. Their storming, norming and performing stages seem to happen simultaneously.They usually flounder and squander much of their allotted time before they “get serious” andattack the task at hand.
