Abstract
Context:
Team skills such as goal setting, task coordination, and interpersonal communication are among the most sought after competencies in graduate engineers. In an increasingly diverse workforce, engineering programs must ensure students have opportunities to develop the skills and competencies to collaborate with professionals of diverse cultures, skills and technical backgrounds, including those outside of the engineering industry. In the absence of facilitation through appropriate instruction, practice, assessment, and feedback, engineering students may not develop the skills to function as an effective member of diverse and dynamic teams. Existing strategies for facilitating effective teamwork and fostering team skills have been primarily focused on structured learning activities for team development. This research explores engineering instructors' perspectives on strategies for facilitating effective …
