Can Engineering Students’ Teamwork Skills Be Improved? Sadan Kulturel-Konak Penn State BerksThe lack of effective teamwork has been identified among the most important factorscontributing to the high failure rate of complex engineering projects. Therefore, it isessential that engineering students excel in teamwork skills in addition to the technicalskills. In this study, we explore students’ self efficacy and interest towards teamworksince the research suggests that the sufficient level of self efficacy can encouragepersonal growth and skill development and interest is a construct that can predictstudents’ professional development in a domain.

fantasyParallel with the development of mediums we observe a reduction of the "cultural” needs of thehuman brain. This process has a negative effect on achieving abstraction in constructive thinking.When reading books, we are forced to translate the information on paper into an image in ourbrain. Rereading brightens the image as a result of the added details. The same informationappearing in cartoons, on TV or in movies provides a clear visual experience and, therefore,reduces the abstraction in the human brain.2. Passive reception, bad rate of memorizationIf information is received in combination with manual activity (touching, sketching, writing,etc.), the information is better retained in the brain, and creative skills are enhanced and have astronger
