However, theseconclusions and recommendations are based on very limited data, and further study isneeded. IntroductionWith all the interest in having our engineering student become good “team players”, thereis a surprising lack of information in the engineering education literature on how to formgood teams, e. g., what are the characteristics of these good “team players.” There areseveral methods and/or criteria used (See Dutson1 for a short review

Learning occurs by the execution of a well-planned sequence (a "strategic sequence") of subsystems.Each subsystem is designed to accomplish an incremental goal, ultimately leading to the attainment of theoverall course goals6. Research applying the concept of general system theory to the specialized problem ofinstructional design has been conducted8,9,15. In order to control progress through a strategically sequencedcollection of subsystems, feedback is required2. In educational systems, the feedback is obtained bycomparing the actual progress with the expected progress towards the system goals. Bloom's taxonomy will serve as the basis for the metrics used in
