Description

Short Abstract:

Initiating an initiative focused on identifying best practices for developing and improving teamwork skills, researchers at Purdue Polytechnic Institute, School of Engineering Technology have begun to define research in this area. This project is intended to be multi‐institutional, investigating skills within the Capstone experiences of engineering, technology, and computing programs.

Initiating an initiative focused on identifying best practices for developing and improving teamwork skills, researchers at Purdue Polytechnic Institute, School of Engineering Technology have begun to define research in this area. This project is intended to be multi‐institutional, investigating skills within the Capstone experiences of engineering, technology, and computing programs.

Teamwork as defined and measured by the existing team are those dimensions measured by the CATME Peer Review (Ohland, et al, 2006), which is currently used by thousands of technology and engineering instructors and institutions worldwide. The CATME Peer Review measurement tool is used to collect self and peer evaluations of team members’ contributions on five different teamwork dimensions. These teamwork dimensions are 1) pose the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help the team; 2) expect quality work from the team; 3) keep the team on schedule; 4) positive interactions between teammates to help the team; and 5) all team members contribute to the team's work and success.

This research team has evaluated a semester of data to provide an example of how to evaluate teamwork skills and subsequently begin the task of improving skills and the capstone environment (Lucietto, et al, 2017).
