However, the students had contradictory perceptions of the level ofspecificity and vagueness in the GTA feedback. This study supports the notion that studentsneed training and education both in how to give feedback as well as how to respond to feedback.I. IntroductionInternationally, engineering educators have recognized the necessity of students acquiringteaming and communication skills, aptitude in engineering science and design, ability to applymathematics, and an ability to address open-ended, ambiguous problems1. To achieve thesecompetencies, one instructional approach that has been developed is

With the approachreported, Dennis6 noted, “As the client, the instructor can fire members from groups and causethem to become a group of one if peer evaluations indicate that there is a severe problem andthat they are not pulling their load.” In lieu of implementing an approach of this nature, the planfor the 2015 offering is to allow students to select their own groups. In this way, collaborativeteam environments should be promoted and individuals with a reputation for underperformingshould be more readily isolated.A key instructional component of the panels has
