Inaddition to student learning by doing, the pressure exerted by peers, on those studentswho attempt to perform at minimal levels, is strong enough to prompt better performance.In courses where I’ve included a group project, I have noted active student engagementwith their team mates and the topic to be learned

Laboratories are activity based engineering education at its best, project -oriented efforts that immerse students in meaningful tasks. Laboratories provide the tolerancefor ambiguity and contradictions that lead to the development of engineering judgment.Laboratory productivity is tied to group attainment, which does depend on individualresponsibility. The laboratory project should be too big for any individual to complete. Theinstructor must develop an open learning environment, promote interdependence and fosterindividual responsibility.

Teams can attack a more ambitious task together,bringing their individual strengths to bear upon the problems. As in the work setting, however,there will be some students who tend to coast on the efforts of others. In a typical assignment fora team project in distance learning, the professor can assign student teams a chat room for theirteam meetings (with the professor reviewing the chat logs); ask to be copied in the team’s emailmessages regarding the projects; and ask for a team assessment of each individual’scontributions at the termination of the assignment.

This places large demands on educators todetermine more efficient ways of presenting material in order to ensure that students continue tohave the same basic understanding of fundamental concepts and skills as in the past. Theprimary goal of this paper is to address that concern. The development of a computer -aidedlearning tool, with the use of MatLab, will create a significant software to aid the

This paper explains the variation, developed by this author, on the typicalteam-based learning method. The “lecture method” is partially maintained but is used only toexplain certain concepts that students have difficulty grasping or to answer specific questionsraised by a student.
