groups passed through an ‘overcoming discomfort period’ trying to get toknow each other and build rapport between team members.Based on motivation and class performance. In another semester of the highway engineeringcourse, student groups were assigned based on their motivation levels and class performance atthe transportation engineering class that was a prerequisite for the highway engineering class.Highly motivated students with Transportation Engineering course grade “A” or “B”, wereassigned in groups with less motivated students with grades “C”, and “D”. It should be statedthat, here, highly motivated students were all the ones who expressed an interest in transportationengineering and wanted to do well in the related courses. Also, all

Just an hour a week isn't much, but using the whole thing to go over homework and review the upcoming week's material can be really helpful. When these meetings are not used to the fullest or are skipped entirely, this makes the teaching quality suffer.”2.5.2 Positive Interdependence “I think the common goal was clear, in that we wanted students to succeed in a) learning how to run the experiments hands-on, b) maintaining safety, and c) applying fundamental chemical

The purpose here is to offer a newway to think about the development of the professional engineering educator. In thisrespect the paper focuses on:(i) the cognitive processes that faculty would follow asthey grow and learn more about teaching and learning,(ii) the discipline-basedindustrial/practical experience they need to acquire in their locale to add to theirrepertoire as “practitioners” of engineering, and (iii) the institutional initiatives,including administrative support, encouragement, and resources. What is needed is tocreate a change in culture within the institution, i.e., the department or college, togenerate a comprehensive and integrated set of
