The senior class is split into independentdesign teams (typically there are 6 to 7 students per team). Teams are encouraged to operate asan engineering consulting firm. Each team is led by a project manager and a deputy projectmanager who are responsible for the deliverables. An effort is made to have at least one studentin each team from each of the specialty areas (structures, geotechnical, transportation,construction, and environmental).

Expectation of high grades, motivationMany students have an expectation of higher grades without a corresponding effort.Students are often prepared in high school to expect high grades with little homework andmodest effort. “Grade inflation”, experienced in grades K-1214, and now shown to beevident in universities15,16,17accelerates this tendency over time. This accompanies a“consumer” mentality, which works against the idea of the university as a community oflearners. There is a lower incidence of work ethic, a lower motivation to learn, and thetendency to cheat is higher18. As a logical consequence of all these traits

In the past, peer evaluation has beenavoided due to the inherent problems of students grading other students. However, the solutionprovided in this paper is fair and has been proven very successful. Peer evaluation is especiallyuseful and informative because the actual team members themselves know best the contributionsof each individual member of the team.This paper presents a brief review of suggestions for topics to improve the teaching of teamwork.The primary emphasis of the paper is to present a successful method of assessing individualcontributions to a team.

[1], it is paramountfor engineering education to grow into a more inclusive and innovative practice to fulfill societalneeds. While some progress has been made in introducing innovation during the first and fourthyears of undergraduate education, the middle two years, burdened with core engineering courses,have seen limited change [2]. As we re-develop these courses, integrating “innovativeentrepreneurship” in parallel with social ethics and EDI could be a great catalyst for positivechange.

Specifically, graduates from an engineering program leave with the overallimpression that engineering decisions made in the real world are completely objective and without bias.General consensus in the field firmly believes that engineering and science can be separated from politicaland social concerns as long as “rigorous” engineering and scientific methods of design and inquiry arefollowed. But if we consider some recent history of engineering, we find many examples and exceptionsthat disprove this supposed neutrality rule [18-20].
