AB  - Many undergraduate engineering courses include laboratory work where students are often asked to work in pairs or groups to complete assignments.  Group work can offer many benefits including improved communication and team work skills, appreciation and respect for others, and even increased individual performance.  However, group work may also present many drawbacks including ostracism, unequal work distribution (some group members not ‘pulling their own weight’), and decreased individual performance.   When creating groups, instructors are faced with deciding whether to allow students to form their own groups or to assign them, whether to change groups weekly or keep them the same all quarter (or semester) and whether to require students to submit their work individually or as a group.   This paper explores the effects of the method of group assignment on the perceived benefits and drawbacks of group work.  Specifically, the paper presents the results of a group assignment survey given to students in several different undergraduate computer engineering courses that span sophomore to senior level courses taught by different faculty.
