In a study of a work-readiness program at a state psychiatric hospital,Kasser, Davey, & Ryan [13] demonstrated that the satisfaction of psychological needs amongworkers positively predicted managers' rating of their performance. A year later, in a study ofmanufacturing workers, basic psychological needs satisfaction was also shown to positivelypredict job satisfaction and self-esteem [14]. Similar positive outcomes have been demonstratedin a wide range of workplace studies in the twenty-first century. For example, satisfaction of thethree basic psychological needs has been clearly linked to greater job

. IntroductionAs an engineering faculty member, one of your core responsibilities is research. In today’scomplex world, research is almost always done by teams. Managing a research group is not justa technical exercise; it also requires social skills. This paper explores some of the challenges andoffers tips on how to meet them. It is based on our own experience, and on advice from morethan a dozen distinguished faculty researchers.2. Related WorkThere is a wide literature on effective mentoring techniques, which is almost entirely focused onstudent success. Prominent among these works are the series of “Entering Mentoring”publications [Handelsman et al. 2005, Handelsman et al. 2011, Pfund et al. 2015, Greenberg,2018]. These report on seminars that have

Engineering facultyevaluated the technical content of the posters.Another benefit of poster presentation as a lab course assignment is reducing the instructor’sgrading workload. Some instructors ask all class to grade every poster. The instructor maychoose to use these peer evaluations for final grade determination (Seifert et al., 2009; Sibley etal., 2012).
