as a source of information for improving team performance 2,3and accounting for individual contributions to a group project 4. Peer evaluations as a source ofinformation for small self-directed group work have an appeal because the team members are inthe best position to observe the team skills of their fellow team members. Despite thisadvantage, concerns have been levied against the use of peer evaluations. Abson 5, for example,suggested that peer evaluations can be abused and have undesirable effects on individuals in thegroup. Mathews 6 studied peer assessment of small group work in a management studiesprogram. He noted patterns of response included giving all group members the same score,collusion between group members, and potential

The information gathered was used to revise and develop newtechnical writing instructions that will be infused purposefully in various courses and labs within thecurriculum. Instructors are devoting some time in their courses to discuss technical writing requirements asit pertains to their assignments. Based on this assessment, there were several recommendations made to theprogram to increase student technical writing skills based on the identified gaps. • Revise and increase specific writing topic lessons in the curriculum to include structure, technical content, and grammar. • Create short technical writing activities and

These obstacles involve differingwork ethics, personalities, and communication styles. Inevitably, these differences can lead toconflict, and a need to resolve disagreements within the team. These ever-present emotionalaspects to working in a team are found not only in student projects, but also on the projects theywill be working on once they graduate.

This necessitates a revaluationand revision of current engineering curricula and pedagogical approaches. However, achievingthis objective will require a significant overhaul of the current pedagogical approach inengineering education, as it does not adequately equip students with the competencies requiredfor success [17]. In the last 20 years, interdisciplinary learning [18]; education for systemsthinking and design [19]; project-based learning [20]; and the development of STEAM [21]courses have all been calls for engineering reform.1.2 Summary of relevant reviewsImplementing design thinking in education has been a

SchoolIntroductionIn the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects nearly three million new jobs in STEMby 20201, which requires capable individuals with educational backgrounds in STEM to fill thepositions. However, in 2009, the U.S. Department of Education stated that only 16% of USstudents obtained a STEM-related degree out of 1.6 million bachelor’s degrees2. The lack ofcreativity and perspectives in STEM from the limited labor pool becomes a serious concern forthe society. The reason for students to be less willing to pursue a STEM degree in college can bevarious, for example, lack of quality preparation in mathematics and science or lack of financialsupport. Among the factors, an important reason is the lack of general knowledge
