Siqing Wei received B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Engineering Education program at Purdue University. After years of experience serving as a peer teacher and a graduate teaching assistant in first-year engineering courses, he has been a research assistant at CATME research group studying multicultural team dynamics and outcomes. The research interests span how cultural diversity impacts teamwork and how to help students improve intercultural competency and teamwork competency by interventions, counseling, pedagogy, and tool selection (such as how to use CATME Team-Maker to form inclusive and diversified teams) to promote DEI. In addition, he also works on many research-to-practice projects to enhance educational technology usage in engineering classrooms and educational research by various methods, such as natural language processing. In addition, he is also interested in the learning experiences of international students. Siqing also works as the technical development and support manager at the CATME research group.
Matthew W. Ohland is Associate Head and the Dale and Suzi Gallagher of Professor of Engineering Education at Purdue University. He has degrees from Swarthmore College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the University of Florida. He studies the longitudinal study of engineering students and forming and managing student teams and with collaborators has been recognized for the best paper published in the Journal of Engineering Education in 2008, 2011, and 2019 and from the IEEE Transactions on Education in 2011 and 2015. Dr. Ohland is an ABET Program Evaluator for ASEE. He was the 2002–2006 President of Tau Beta Pi and is a Fellow of the ASEE, IEEE, and AAAS.
To achieve the benefit of the growing emphasis on teamwork in engineering courses, it is important to improve how student teams are managed. A prominent way to promote social constructive collaboration is the use of peer evaluations, which enable engineering students to learn from feedback provided from other team members to improve their performance in teams. In this work, we studied the effect of repeated use of a peer evaluation system over time in multiple classes on the quality of peer evaluations in a course late in the students’ program. Specifically, we studied the repeated use of the Comprehensive Assessment of Teamwork Effectiveness (CATME) peer evaluation system in a senior-level civil engineering course in an Australian University using MANCOVA. Teams whose members had more experience in teams using CATME provide more consistent ratings of teammates, adding to the body of evidence that the quality of ratings improves with repeated use of a peer rating system. We suggest that curriculum decision-makers adapt more widespread use of peer evaluation in courses that involve teamwork to encourage students to develop the valuable skill at providing feedback to peers, which in turn will promote the improvement of team skills.
