The increase in teamwork attitudes and perceived benefits is a promising indicator forengineering students. A main cause of this increase may be explained by the rigor and scope ofthe team projects that students are involved within the last two years of engineering programs.At this particular university setting, the first year engineering curriculum features engineeringdesign learning facilitated through a series of team-based projects supplemented by briefguidance on teamwork.

In this sequence ofcourses, engineering students progress from projects with carefully limited scopes in thefreshman year, to ill-posed and open-ended projects that reflect professional practice in theJunior and Senior years. Indeed, most projects in the Junior and Senior year are externallysponsored. The faculty in the College of Engineering feel that this progression is a logical wayto take full advantage of project-based learning and to allow students to develop towardprofessional practice throughout their studies.Like many engineering programs, Rowan University is also striving to develop a sense ofentrepreneurship in their students.
