Both courses have already and still arebeing delivered. 19 20 While there are of course variations between capstone programs, aspreviously discussed, there are some general trends that can be observed.

However, they were allowedto collaborate with one another about concepts and approaches to the lab. During in-classobservations, it was apparent throughout the lab session duration that students werecommunicating frequently with each other and with the TA. We found that this was also trueduring the out-of-lab labs (Table 1). Just under half of the students completing each out-of-lablab worked with another student outside of class to complete the assignment. Of those, oneperson collaborated on less than 25% of the lab while the other four students did more

IntroductionIn the workplace and the academy, professional engineers, researchers, and students typicallyfunction in teams. Even if individual team members have diverse technical backgrounds andexpertise, the effectiveness of their work together depends on more than engineering ‘chops’. Inorder to negotiate, plan, motivate, and integrate tasks at the team and even department level,engineers must practice and become skilled at interpersonal tasks like “communication,collaboration, networking, feedback provision and reception, teamwork, lifelong learning, andcultural understanding”1.
