Since these skills are critical to being successful in industry, it is our job to givestudents ample opportunity to develop these skills in their engineering student career, and usingTBL as a teaching/learning technique in engineering courses is one option. Another benefit for the students is in-depth knowledge and understanding of topics that comesfrom solving complex problems. Students gain an appreciation for team work and learn to workas an effective team mate. The effectiveness of team work can also be demonstrated to thestudents—Michaelsen et al.2, has shown that in the past twenty years, over 99.95% of the teamshave outperformed their best member by an average of almost 14%, and the worst team
