, we hope to provide other educators in both science andengineering with useful tools to assist them in developing and/or enhancing the use of writingwithin their own classrooms.IntroductionABET accreditation requirements emphasize the importance of “soft” skills in planning andachieving excellence in engineering education. In addition to “hard” knowledge, engineersneed to experience and understand “communication, teamwork, and the ability to recognizeand resolve ethical dilemmas.”[1] These skills are powerful when combined with awarenessskills involving “understanding the impact of global and social factors, knowledge ofcontemporary issues, and the ability to do lifelong learning.”[1] What is the most effectiveway of incorporating this into

Ratherthan spend the same amount of time going over the exam, a team test allows students to discover,justify and own the answers. By having students spend time working through the exam with eachother, the students become teachers, participating in reciprocal learning.For planning teacher-to-classroom feedback, the group exams give a better picture of whichconcepts were globally missed or were difficult. As with any exam, this can be useful feedback* The Web-based Interactive Science and Engineering Learning Tool at Oregon State University Page 22.822.5
