Abstract :
Modern demands of industry and ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 have resulted in a dramatically increased emphasis on team based learning in the engineering curriculum. Nevertheless, very little attention has been given to the development of practical guidelines for the implementation of teams in the engineering classroom environment. The authors have proposed a comprehensive curriculum to implement a student training for engineering team effectiveness. The curriculum includes training to develop personal effectiveness in teams, as well as training on interpersonal effectiveness and project management
