Learning Modules to Teach Teamwork Skills to Engineering Students

Friday, January 20, 2017 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Motivated by a perceived deficiency in teamwork skills of graduating engineering students, the teamwork sub-committee of the Engineering Ideas Clinic, in co-operation with the Student Success Office and the Centre for Teaching Excellence, has been developing a series of six teamwork training workshops for engineering students in 1A through 3B terms. The careful pilot-revise-implement design cycle has resulted in the development of a number of variations of each workshop, catering to different disciplines’ needs for integration with the curriculum. At the same time, through the support of a LITE grant, each workshop as well as the workshop series as a whole are being carefully assessed through pre- and post-test, surveys, and interview methodologies.  

Session presenters: Rania Al-Hammoud, Sanjeev Bedi, Ada Hurst, Erin Jobidon, Mehrnaz Mostafapour, Andrea Prier, and Chris Rennick
