Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Facilitating Team Processes in Virtual Team Projects Through Web-Based Technologies and Instructional ScaffoldsAbstractBecause of the global nature of the workforce, teams are becoming increasingly distributed andvirtual. These teams typically use a variety of web-based information and communicationtechnologies (ICT) to collaborate from remote locations. Although there has been increasedemphasis on developing teamwork skills and abilities in engineering students through the use ofcollaborative projects, our understanding of successful strategies to enhance learning outcomesin these distributed settings is lacking. There has also been little emphasis on key processes forvirtual

thesestudents pass through the Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program, they construct theircircuits and typically view the PC only as an analytical tool to solve engineering problems. Ofcourse, in the real world, PCs are capable of controlling all types of devices.After reading about parallel port programming (PPP) in a magazine a few months ago, the authorof this article did some research and decided to introduce students in a Digital Systems course tothis fascinating concept. The response from the students was impressive.Value to EET StudentsThe value of using PCs in this manner is significant. EET students can grow in, minimally, fivedimensions of technology: • Continue to develop skills through traditional studies in the EET area

engineers in industrialpositions. In addition, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)accreditation criteria requires that graduates of engineering programs possess “an ability todesign and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data” [4] and “an ability todesign a system, component or process to meet desired needs” [4]. To meet the requirements ofthis ABET accreditation criteria, the faculty of the mechanical engineering program at IndianaUniversity-Purdue University Fort Wayne has begun the development of DBT experiments in allrequired laboratories of the mechanical engineering program. The faculty believes that thisapproach would enhance and add another dimension to the teaching/learning experience in

. Introduction and BackgroundClassroom use of IT for teaching science, engineering and technology has increased dramaticallyin recent years and has proved to be very effective in various situations (Haque 2001, 2003,2004). Contemporary applications of IT allow us to develop learner-centered virtual designstudios that can be reached to a large student population via the web. Enhancing World WideWeb developments, the new opportunities for interactivity and flexible access to various mediaformat (text, sound, static illustrations, 2D and 3D dynamic illustrations, Virtual Reality worlds)challenge the traditional experience in shaping learning environments for web-based education(Klett, 2002). The student-centered distance-learning archetype should include
describe the ten stages of a lab lifecycle in detail. 1. Need. Most of the labs start with a need to prove a theoretical concept using experiments or to design a process or product using modern engineering tools. Here, the later is emphasized. Often, a demonstration of a novel instrument or device is observed. Also, the current laboratory experiences are assessed and found to be inadequate or incompatible with respect to the current technology. 2. Conception. In this stage, mostly, replacement of the old lab’s instrumentation/equipment with the state-of-the-art versions is sought; preliminary evaluations of new instrumentation/equipment capabilities are performed, and some possible new lab ideas are explored
