EngineeringAccreditation Commission (EAC) Student Outcome 5 was also a factor, with teamworkincorporated on graded assignments to achieve ABET EAC Student Outcome 5. Courses withlabs and sizeable design projects, especially those tied to ABET EAC Student Outcome 5, had amuch larger fraction of team-based activity points than those without labs or large courseprojects. To examine teamwork as a teaching method, an evaluation of student grades indicatedthat team-based activities did not equally benefit all students, with lower performing studentsreceiving a larger grade benefit. In similar fashion, group learning exercises did not significantlyimprove student learning for subsequently administered individual exams. When studentlearning related to team selection

This was a markedimprovement over the relationship of homeworks and quizzes to exams and projects in an earliersemester without AL elements. Student feedback exposed the need for more examples andpractice questions. Faculty reported students were more aware of concepts requiring support andasked more pertinent questions. In addition, faculty perceptions were more positive when ALmaterials were graded elements that substantially replaced non-AL course material compared towhen they were used to supplement existing course materials. These results suggest that AL canenhance connections in the introductory mechanics sequence, but emphasize that adaptivecontent and

However, one challenge that can limit the effectiveness of these projects is the factthat many students are not confident with tools. In a curriculum requiring much building ofprojects this is a problem; students may be able to envision great products only to beoverwhelmed when attempting to fabricate.
