Collaboration in the Engineering Classroom
Publication: Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice
Volume 119, Issue 3
Abstract
Graduate students use collaborative design and review teams to simulate situations they will encounter in their professional employment. This paper discusses how the graduate students work as teams on a bridge‐design project. The student teams also review and critique the completed written designs of other teams and lead the class discussion when the project results are presented orally in class.
