The goal was to analyze the attainment of studentoutcomes and their development over time. This team was comprised of 40students from eight professional disciplines (including four industrial engineeringstudents) for more than a year. Furthermore, this study presents how theinterdisciplinary composition of the team evolved throughout the development ofthe project in order to fulfill the requirements of the competition. The

Education, 2016 Effective building and development of student teamwork using personality types in engineering coursesAbstractEngineers have a high calling of contributing to the betterment of humanity. Engineering projectshave become more complicated in recent years. One solution to solving complex problems andworking on engineering projects is team building. Competent and effective team buildingrequires time and effort in the workplace or school. To best prepare students to meet theengineering profession’s demands and the needs of experienced professionals, teamwork andteam building need to be taught in the educational system. Teamwork is also a necessarycomponent of an engineering education. This paper presents

The study has been performed in a Mechanical Engineering programat KTH, in Stockholm, Sweden, where one of the main issues has been the addition of newlearning goals relating to scientific methods and research.The author presents three models for how research and scientific methods can be integratedwith engineering work in a thesis project context. We show that it is indeed possible toperform the integration synergistically, providing the various sets of requirements are clearlycommunicated particularly to any industrial representatives.Introduction: professional and academic

His current research is focused on reliable, robust, and economic microgrids, alternative energy systems, power electronics, graphene, and biofuels. Microgrids have a wide variety of commercial and humanitarian applications. Humanitarian microgrid projects require non-traditional design approaches since their operation requires minimal human intervention and maintenance. Furthermore, users typically become dependent on the reliable operation of these systems hence premature failures can have serious negative consequences.Dr

From two weeks into the class, students areasked to form groups of up to four and propose a final project. For their final project, students arerequired to design and build a complete working system of their choice.

The objective of the first third of the course is for the students togain a foundational understanding of the basics of construction management to include projectbidding, contract mechanisms, scheduling, estimating, and project controls. The topics arepresented in a traditional classroom environment.

In addition, students develop self-efficacy in their discipline throughparticipating in cross-disciplinary experiences [5]. Cross-disciplinary experiences also helpstudents learn to value expertise outside their area of study and appreciate the limitations andconstraints of information in other fields [6]. Course instructors can also benefit from sharingresponsibility for a course and learning about other disciplines [7].The unfamiliarity of cross-disciplinary activities can lead to frustrations despite their manybenefits.
