benefits and limitations of a number of communication methods• In the environment that the project created, the students acquired a number of skills that will give them a grounding for a professional career. These skills included appreciation of the need for a single point of contact to a given group of people and discipline in communications, and the importance of agendas and strategies for meetings and other interactions with people.• The project enabled them to experience the management of change. In addition, they have had to realize that attention to detail and the need to liaise with others (including customers and suppliers) is important - input from industrialists raised the tenor of the project and made it possible for

One of the challenges is to provide a fast track toproject/design engineering while providing the strong fundamental engineering education andsolid preparation in design, analysis and evaluation in a four year program. However, it is toour advantage to meet the challenge, it is critical to the success of our engineering graduates intheir professional careers to “hit the mark” and meet industry’s expectations.While there is not a universal definition of design; it is paramount to realize that engineeringdesign brings new products/processes/systems and subsystems to the specialized consumer orthe global market seeking to improve health, well-being, safety

Education andHuman Resources concluded that “… while K – 12 programming can expand the pool of thoseinterested in pursing careers in SME&T [Science, Mathematics, Engineering, & Technology], itis at the undergraduate level where attrition and burnout can be most effectively prevented.What we in SME&T education must do is to concern ourselves with all students, not just thosewho historically have been represented in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology.Such a breadth of concern has important educational benefits as well, as it will force us to thinkmore about how individuals learn and recognize what research has made clear: that there aredifferences in learning style which profoundly effect achievement.

, instead of the traditional freshmen essay or research paper, students learn how to structure an argument, highlight benefits, answer questions and objections, and back up assertions with evidence; they learn how to gather evidence from surveys and focus groups and how to present that evidence in text, tables, charts, and appendices. Thus they can see how the demands of college writing and speaking are different from those they have experienced in high school and how they can use writing, research, and related skills in their academic and professional careers.• Introduction to new technologies Most students are already computer literate at the start of EDC; they have begun to use specialized engineering programs such as

Humans that have specialized in engineering have learned that concept even moredeeply.

Since the data originated from first-year engineering courses, one plausible solutionwould be to start the intervention in high school. Additionally, longitudinal studies may providedeeper insights into how team experiences evolve throughout a student's academic career andhow early interventions can have long-term benefits. Lastly, examining the intersectionality ofstudents' identities and experiences will enhance our understanding of the multidimensionalnature of team dynamics.
