EngineeringAbstractThe Texas A&M Engineering Academy program is the first engineeringtransition program of its kind in the United States. Unlike traditional transferprograms, students admitted into an Academy are admitted to Texas A&M andbegin earning Texas A&M transcribed credit from semester one. Students enrollin math, science and core curriculum courses through the partner college andenroll in Texas A&M engineering courses taught by Texas A&M faculty face-to-face on the partner college campus. Students spend one to two years co-enrolled at the community college before transitioning full time to Texas A&MUniversity in College Station to finish their bachelor’s degree. Academystudents save on average $4,100 per semester on tuition fees

After theexams, it was very clear who contributed and who did not.IntroductionTeamwork is a key part of any engineering curriculum to better prepare students for life afteracademia. Any academic program with an external advisory board will no doubt be told thisfrom their industry partners. And, of course, ABET directly mandates it [1]. ABET now actuallydefines ‘Team’ – “A team consists of more than one person working toward a common goal andshould include individuals of diverse backgrounds, skills, or perspectives.” And from StudentOutcome 5, students must
