Engineering students must function effectively on a team whose members togetherprovide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks,and meet objectives [2]. For teams and students to be successful, all individuals must be engaged[4]. In this respect, assigning team roles may have a positive impact on overall team success[5],[6]. However, modern teams tend to be more fluid in their roles and not rely solely on definedrole assignments [7].All students should enjoy and be successful in their teams, while obtaining the

analysis indicated that the approach was effectiveand had a positive impact on student engagement.IntroductionThe continuing trend of low retention of undergraduate students in Science TechnologyEngineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields is a cause for concern. The data reported by NCES[1] showed that of those who started with a STEM field in 2003, by 2009 48% had left theSTEM field. According to a later report [2], the 6-year degree completion rate was 52% forAsian Americans, 43% for Caucasians and 22% for African American students. There areseveral factors that impact student retention and completion of STEM degrees. These factorsvary from financial to social to institutional.

Student-instructor rapport has been shown to be animportant factor in learning at the university level and has been able to predict student outcomes,specifically grades [2]. Student-instructor rapport can increase student motivation, studentenjoyment of the material, and class attendance [3]. Rapport is increased when an instructor isopen

The paper starts with a general visual explanation of the concept of an inversefunction, followed by visual, intuitive, and experience-based examples, including (1) non-mathematical examples, where the inverse exists, such as the idea of “negative” of a developedfilm, as well as where the inverse does not exist, such as getting a haircut; (2
