trust. Results indicate that designing ameeting structure with thorough planning documentation that designates time for socialinteractions to foster trust between team members is a powerful method for encouragingeffective communication and overall project success.IntroductionVirtual teams are growing in prevalence in industry for a number of reasons [1], includinglowering overall project costs, optimizing project time management, and expediting problemsolving [2]. In the modern workplace, working virtually allows teams to pool together resources,including people, regardless of physical location [2]. By employing virtual engineering teams,research claims companies strengthen their ability to compete on a global scale [3]. Companyinvestments in

trendthat is expected to continue. This can partially attributed to growth in the number of students inour statewide distance education program. This established program, which has been in place fornine years, provides place-bound students and working adults the ability to obtain a Bachelor ofScience in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) degree remotely.2,3,4 Local and Distance studentsections are taught concurrently by the same instructor. The instructor provides lectures to localstudents and records them, allowing anytime access by all students. In addition, distancestudents are permitted to log in and to attend the streaming lecture live if their schedule allows.A traveling lab manager facilitates the offering of lower-level labs at specified sites

He did not report any statistical data to support hisclaims.Engineering design projects are a common source of teamwork in engineering education.Teamwork in these settings is characterized by three attributes: team members having a commongoal, dependence on each other to achieve their goal, and intense work over an extended periodof time. Because of the extended nature of the group work and the interdependence among teammembers, friendships have time to develop over the duration of the project. In many cases,friendships were formed prior to the group work. With this nature of

Association) 2020survey [11] respondents say their cybersecurity teams are understaffed and 56% of the (ISC)2[10] survey respondents accept their institution is at risk. According to various reports, about40% of junior-level and over 50% senior and manager level security jobs are vacant and CyberSecurity job postings took 8% longer to fill than other IT job postings overall. In a lot of cases,even the people who should know how to do this job and know how to run these systems do noteven exist.
