These teamwork dimensions fall into 5 categories:  Contributing (C) to the Team’s Work is being able to add value to a team’s work/project. Team members are rated on how well they meet their commitments, do their share of the work, and help their teammates.  Interacting (I) with Teammates refers to how individuals communicate within their teams.

ProjectIntroduction Engineering educators have an essential role in preparing engineers to work in a complex,interdisciplinary workforce. While much engineering education focuses on teaching students todevelop disciplinary expertise in specific engineering domains, there is a strong need to teachengineers about the knowledge that they develop or use in their work (Bucciarelli 1994, Allenby& Sarewitz, 2011; Frodeman, 2013). The purpose of this research is to gain a betterunderstanding of the knowledge systems of practicing engineers through observations of theirpractices such that the insights learned can guide future education efforts. Using an examplefrom a complex and interdisciplinary engineering project, this paper presents a case
