time-out-of-time expanse to motivate the student to think about their unique perspective as well as some from far off areas. Also, the use of Kaplan’s lips indicates an open-ended way of incorporating languages not just of business but also of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) as the pineapple intersects both an art and science approach depending on the notion of the group or individual learner’s attributes and inclinations. The differentiation occurs through the flexibility for interpretation of the open-ended assignment and the take away is at once loaded with similarities as well as stark differences depending on student proclivity and choice of framework exploration

performance is undoubtedly the most important lever that educational leaders /administrators can use for their organizations to succeed. Its (faculty performance) criticality hasincreased in the 21st century in view of the higher level demands from fresh engineers. Facultymembers are expected to learn and use a variety of technology-based methods and research-based instruction strategies for content delivery, learner support, and assessment. They also needto collaborate with their peers locally and globally. Further, they have to comply withdocumentation and reporting requirements. Organizing various interventions to improve this typeof multi-dimensional performance is an easy task and almost no administrator ignores that.However, that may not

Chip design has traditionallybeen offered at the graduate or senior level. It is one of the marvels of modern technology thathas revolutionized our world and appears completely unapproachable to the uninitiated.However, the subject has proven to be quite accessible to freshmen.

of these engagement methods,students’ collaboration plays a great role, however, there are only few studies are available on an effectiveteam formation method. The team integration and level of collaboration will directly affect the quality ofthe end-product as well as the amount of learning through the process. An effective team formationmechanism in Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs is vital to create astrong collaboration among students and to maximize learning. In this paper, a preliminary study has beenperformed to investigate a possible route to build an effective collaboration among students by changingthe traditional paradigm “cheating on in-class Examinations” into a possible productive team work arena

student's academic career fosters early network building and canstrengthen their sense of identity within the major and the university. It's common for alumni tosay that they remain in touch with the friends they met during their undergraduate years incollege. Lastly, all accredited engineering programs must incorporate teamwork into theircurriculum since the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) mandatesunder Criterion 3 that student outcomes include "an ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment,establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives."
