Each group creates a synthesis of what is now known; our experience is that they do not have difficulty with this, possibly because of the dual perspectives they have taken. They summarize a joint position to which both sides agreed. Subsequently, they (a) prepare a cooperative report with each member of the group selecting a topic supporting the synthesis and writing a paragraph supported by the research; (b) combine their paragraphs into a single paper and refine the flow of the paper; (c) present their conclusions to the class

The learning objectives for the fall semester are that bythe end of the course, students can: 1. Design chemical engineering experiments and create hypotheses 2. Operate chemical engineering tools, equipment, and instrumentation 3. Analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions 4. Write and present scientific information clearly to a range of audiences 5. Collaborate with peers and instructors and function as a part of a healthy, creative, and cohesive team 6.

For example, Russell& Zafonte [5] report that first-year students have valuable skills that enable them to succeedin their careers, such as critical thinking. Nevertheless, this study argues that studentsconsider writing skills and collaborative work less important for their career development.Regarding those mentioned above, it has been widely documented that university studentsrequire a broad set of skills to be successful in their careers. For example, it has been shownthat collaborative work helps students to promote conceptual learning, developcommunication skills, foster interdependence

an important aspect of engineering practice during the second industrial revolution, which started in the late 19th century. Today, the importance of teamwork skills for engineers is codified in the ABET accreditation requirements (ABET 2021). Too often, we, as instructors, put students in teams and assume they will learn teamwork skills organically. As a result, the majority of students report at least one type of interpersonal problem on projects and many report reduced learning as a result (Wolfe et al. 2016). In most cases, we don’t learn about the problems until reading student peer evaluations or we don’t learn about them at all. Either way, the opportunity to correct the situations has passed and the damage is done. In

The positive interpersonalrelationships promoted through cooperative learning are regarded as crucial to today’s learningcommunities. They reduce uncertainties and increase the quality of social adjustment andintegration into college life. Isolation and alienation, on the other hand, often lead to failure.
