state boards consists of three major steps:education, experience, and exams.1 Colleges and universities play a critical role in the educationrequirement through curricular development and program accreditation. They can also play a role inassisting graduates in experience acquisition through career support services. The extent to whichinstitutions should include passage of the exams- the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Practice ofEngineering (PE)- as a graduation requirement or even emphasize test content in the curriculum is open todebate.2,3 Regardless of curricular emphasis on FE exam preparation, Civil Engineering programs aim toprepare students for eventual licensure and some have created FE review courses to assist towardcompletion

The course is structured to provide students with support to guide their design andbuilding process. However, the students often need timely guidance to resolve issues with teamfunctioning. Built into the course curriculum are required meetings between student teammembers and discussions about equitable division of labor. However, while the instructor is theprimary resource for solving internal team conflicts, the instructor may not be privy to theinternal dynamics of all student teams.InterventionThis study aimed to introduce a new team

It was said that poor Squeaky had developed BEST FEVER.So to rescue his health, biorobots were injected inside his blood vessels to sort out theseDNA deoxyribonucleotides and PCR primers (DNA repairing components) from a poolof dislocated deoxyribonucleotides. Along with picking up these items, the biorobotsalso picked up a “hidden gene,” which was a special gene that could give Squeaky aneverlasting life. Thus, based on this theme, the game was set.
