Time ManagementStudents keep up in their classes by scheduling their study time so as to operate under the principle that they master the material presented in each class meeting before the next class meeting. Interaction with peersStudents make effective use of their peers by frequent sharing of information and by regularly engaging in group study and collaborative learning. Interaction with facultyStudents interact regularly with their professors both in the classroom and outside of it, positively and with benefit

Perry scheme and require students to provide more documentationof the design process through methods such as journals.ABET stresses that engineering graduates should demonstrate an ability to communicateeffectively (ASEE Prism, 1997). Design projects typically involve written and oral reporting onthe project (Harris & Jacobs, 1995). These writing assignments exist not only to contribute to thedevelopment of communication skills, but also to simulate industry practice. Design projectsalso often involve teamwork. This teamwork helps students to improve their communicationsskills. The National Academy of Sciences (1995) asserts that graduates of engineering programsmust be prepared to work in a global economy. Teamwork highlights the fact that

Not only will improving team skills increase students’ marketability but is provides anopportunity to improve the engineering learning environment for all students. This is possiblebecause the project team in engineering is becoming a major vehicle for student social andlearning interactions. Social interaction with peers and the influence of positive engineering classexperiences are major factors contributing to the persistence of junior and senior women inengineering and science programs [Brai98].

He helps Eli find the code for the visual display, called a smart dashboard, that isavailable to the robot operators during competition, and allows Eli and another student to readthrough that code and interpret what it does. This is another form of enculturation employed byWalter, which can be seen as an early form of scaffolding, because Eli depends on peer supportto make sense of a worked example of code, but is not expected to write any code himself

However, one student commented that “The peer evaluation papers are the least valuable component of this course, since if you think that one of your teammates is slacking or not putting in enough effort you can just say something to them in person and work it out instead of writing it down. If it really becomes a problem then you can tell the teacher directly.”The fourth statement of the survey is on whether working on a design project increased students’interest in engineering or not.
