of therequired criteria for accreditation of engineering colleges [2]. Micheaelsen et al. [3] argued thatteam-based learning transforms the classroom experience into one that is enjoyable for bothinstructors and students.At the core of this pedagogy is the creation of effective teams to exploit the benefits of peer-to-peer interaction and instruction. Team formation is a complex task that has been extensivelystudied in psychology [4], management [5], and related fields [6]. In these studies, severalcharacteristics including prior knowledge, student’s skills, motivation, competence, homophily[4], diversity, familiarity with other students, personality, and scheduling, have been suggested tosignificantly influence the effectiveness of the team

If this work group mentality is properly formed and nurtured, then eachstudent’s individual academic success will naturally improve. The techniques they learn andapply through the cohort activities gives them the interpersonal and organization skills valued inthe technology workplace.Impact of the Cohort methodologyOne direct measure of the Cohort methodology is its acceptance under peer review by educatorsin the engineering and science communities.

Technology is aspecialization so whatever differentiates a university student of technology from atechnological student in a technical college it is something other than the study oftechnology. Whatever it is, it contributes to the student‟s development as a gentlemanirrespective of what he studies. “It seeks” as Davies writes, “to confer on its recipients afreedom of mind which those who do not possess this advantage will not exhibit.” Thusthe technical college student is in a certain kind of bondage because his studies do

In one, thisresults in students who have more clarity regarding their own engineering identity and the uniqueperspectives their peers can contribute. In the other, students learned and applied principles ofeffective teaming and used stories to reflect on their experiences.

; for instance, Grove & Wasserman [14] examined the trajectories of college students’ GPA,while similar studies focused on undocumented youth [14] or compared students with ADHD and theirneurotypical peers [15]. These cases, however, include little or no mention of major or concentration, andso new work is needed to study GPA in the engineering context. In engineering education, many studiesthat propose a longitudinal approach to GPA focus more on between-subjects variables or treat a singlemeasure of GPA as an outcome. For instance, Durik et al. [16] and Bernold et al. [17] both include GPAas outcome variables, but they focus on students’ two-year cumulative GPA in time-delayed analysesrather than examine GPA across multiple time points
