Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Facilitating Team Processes in Virtual Team Projects Through Web-Based Technologies and Instructional ScaffoldsAbstractBecause of the global nature of the workforce, teams are becoming increasingly distributed andvirtual. These teams typically use a variety of web-based information and communicationtechnologies (ICT) to collaborate from remote locations. Although there has been increasedemphasis on developing teamwork skills and abilities in engineering students through the use ofcollaborative projects, our understanding of successful strategies to enhance learning outcomesin these distributed settings is lacking. There has also been little emphasis on key processes forvirtual

Research indicates that suchvirtual laboratories can be viable alternative forms for laboratory learning activities with specialadvantages in distance education applications. Various researchers also evaluated whetherstudents learned target knowledge via virtual laboratory exercises. However, several questionsemerged during these evaluations: Can students complete this new form of laboratory exercises,which they have not encountered before, in an effective way? Can
-wide professional development workshop. We suspect that therelative absence of interdisciplinary collaborations among early career faculty members may be aconsequence of the short-term demands placed on early career members (e.g. course preparations, quickturnaround on publications and other scholarly products for tenure dossiers, etc.) and the often-siloednature of academic departments. As such, in this paper we seek to highlight the underutilizedopportunities of interdisciplinary collaborations for engineering educational research. We have framedthis paper as a conversation between the two authors, with each sharing their individual responses tospecific prompts to provide personal and disciplinary specific perspectives.
