摘要：Working effectively in teams is an essential skill that must be developed over the course of an engineering degree program. However, soft skills such as effective team behaviours can be difficult to assess and develop in students. Accordingly, the paper outlines our efforts to operationalize the Individual and Team Work attribute with the intention of outlining best practices in assessing, tracking, and enhancing the graduate attribute for both student development and accreditation purposes.
A survey comprised of 40 Likert-scale items and 3 open-ended response questions was administered to all undergraduate students at a large North American university. The survey resulted in key findings, including that students rated their team work competencies significantly lower than they rated the perceived importance of those competencies for success in the workplace. Additionally, females reported significantly lower satisfaction and support in their team experiences than male students. These findings and others resulted in 12 evidence-based recommendations to strategically support the Individual and Team Work attribute.
