While the BSIE degree providesmany opportunities for students to work and be assessed in groups, there was very littleinstruction in how to actually be a good group member. In fact, a review of syllabi showed onlythree class periods in their entire IE course curriculum focused on how to make a team workeffectively. The goal of this project was to get students ready for those teamwork experienceswhich would be assessed against the ABET teamwork outcome.Materials and Lessons DevelopedAs part of the PLC, materials and lessons on how to be a good team member were developed anddelivered to a first-semester
