Abstract

How can we prepare engineers and other professionals to work in collaborative environments? In the 1994 Fall semester, we offered an interdisciplinary graduate course in collaborative technology to explore this question. The class involved a variety of different teaching/learning activities including: student debates, videos, guest discussants, software demos, field trips, and hands-on sessions. The primary evaluation mechanism for the class was a team project on collaborative technology
