: Do the students view the group processing exercises as useful or effective?Course ContextIn a first-year engineering course at a Midwestern university, students design prototypes for atarget client. The course is structured to provide students with support to guide their design andbuilding process. However, the students often need timely guidance to resolve issues with teamfunctioning. Built into the course curriculum are required meetings between student teammembers and discussions about equitable division of labor. However, while the instructor is theprimary resource for solving internal team conflicts, the instructor may not be privy to theinternal dynamics of all student teams.InterventionThis study aimed to introduce a new team

According to the U.S. EnergyInformation Administration's International Energy Outlook 2017, the world’s energyconsumption is expected to increase by 48% between the years 2015 and 2040.

courses aren’t necessarily designed for learning withoptimized shortcuts, student’s experience a disconnect between what they learn and their “real-life” experiences and tend to use memorization/pattern matching as an easier approach/shortcuttowards learning [12,13].As a first evaluation, it appears that such practices would lead to students who are technically weakand unprepared to meet the demands of engineering environments [14,15]. However, over theyears, it has been observed that students who possess necessary soft skills [16,17] related tolearning, possess curiosity and are engaged in collaborative learning, can adjust and learn inchallenging technical environments despite some deficits in background. In fact, as suggested in[15,18], with

The course work is so rigorous thatengineering students study at least 5 hours more than any other major, with the national averagebeing at 19hrs a week.

Main difficulties3.1 The facultyWe found that, due to their own training, there was great resistance within the faculty to theimplementation of this model. This resistance consisted partly of technical objections raisedmainly by teachers of core subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, among others,who being unfamiliar with engineering problems were reluctant to support and integrate theprojects. On the other hand, there was also behavioral resistance from those teachers alreadyaccustomed to a routine of ready-made lessons who did not want to leave their comfort zones todevelop and implement new classes integrating the specificities of each

An engineering educator whoteaches an engineering service project course at a public, doctoral, highest research institutiondescribed the resistance she encountered in developing and teaching the course. I actually have run into a couple of times faculty will say what I'm teaching isn't real engineering because we talk about touchy feely things and because our students read papers on the sociological benefit of international development as well as the technical approach… I think in the four years I've been here it's improving and we've gained some traction and a little more respect… But I know that initially it was much more common to
the problem. This focus is appropriate for the specific material ofthe course, but it misses how and why one gets to the point where the course material is needed.It also misses more general aspects of engineering and technology. Courses with project workmove beyond this to some degree, but are unlikely to succeed in covering some facets oftechnological and engineering literacy (TEL).Many approaches have been documented for teaching technological and engineering literacy [4,5]. A search for technological and engineering literacy in the ASEE PEER database in February,2019, resulted in a list of 60 papers from technical sessions of the Technological and EngineeringLiteracy/Philosophy of Engineering (TELPhE) Division alone; 163 are listed for

that teams consist of members with differing personalities, to promote studentcompatibility. However, some design programs have found the method employing personalitytesting can lead to a greater incidence of internal team conflict, when compared with teamsformed on the self-selection approach [3]. Student–selected teams have, in some instances, beenfound to perform better because such teams commonly display a greater level of student passionand commitment to the design task at hand [4].An aspect of the capstone design experience that is frequently unanticipated on the part of thestudents is team conflict [5]. There are a variety of reasons that conflicts arise within anengineering design team, ranging from personality conflicts and poor
