In additionto the technical part of project tasks, students also need to work on their skills for leadership,project management, communications, and collaborations.The project requirement calls for all students to present at least once or twice among threerequired team presentations. Students evaluate other team’s presentations, and perform peerevaluations on their own teammates’ contribution to their project. Peer reviews done at proposaland progress report milestones include providing each team member’s percentage of contributionto the project work to date.

In terms of academics, Justin would never have been exposed to higher levels of math or science, because he struggles with visual processing.……….This does not mean he cannot learn, but that teaching him requires creative thinking and a commitment to helping him learn in a manner which works for him. He is forever behind his peers academically, in terms of classroom experience. You cannot imagine the pride Justin takes in knowing that he has just spent 2 weeks at a camp taught by professors, graduate students, and caring volunteers who appreciate his intelligence. Justin is rarely able to surpass his 'normal' peers in terms of life's experiences. You have changed that for him

However, where Statics is finallyrelevant to engineering practice in the analysis and design of mechanical systems, instruction hasbeen notably unsuccessful.

Various in-class exercises were used to develop an understanding of the team dynamics and the “language” of other disciplines. Specific approaches used were peer teaching, listening and interpretation exercises, peer teaching of research methods in the laboratory, and the use of the jigsaw method7 for team problem solving.
