educational interventions typically produce modest effectsizes and that any resulting gains must justify the amount of work required to restructure acourse. He made a case, based on a review of the empirical evidence, that active learningtechniques that allow students to work together (e.g. cooperative and collaborative learning)were well worth the effort for engineering faculty. The advantage to students learning in theseenvironments is not solely manifested in increases in achievement, but also in professional skill-building. ABET requirements specify that engineering programs must prepare students forteamwork, and instructional environments such as the one described here provide a naturalsetting in which students can develop interpersonal skills
