Obtained from Andreas A Polycarpou Department Head Meinhard J Kotzebue Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering Texas A M University Team Assignments Group Work In regards to the team assignments Students will be assigned to teams typically four students per group I typically pre assign the teams However if you have any specific requests for teammate s please let me know by 5 30 pm Thursday January 19th 2017 and a small explanation and I will take it into consideration for the team assignments Each group member will individually outline solution methodology before group meetings However only one solution per group will be handed in for grading Two times during the semester the group members will be asked for an Individual Effort or citizenship self assessment rating which will be used to assess participation for each student Details will be provided separately Please read Working in Teams Policies and Expectations to be provided separately The same teams will be used for the in class quizzes HW assignments Working in Teams Policies and Expectations TEAMS ARE NOT EASY As you already have found out or soon you will find out group work is not always easy Team members sometimes cannot prepare for or attend group sessions because of other responsibilities and conflicts often result from differing skill levels and work ethics When teams work and communicate well however the benefits more than compensate for the difficulties Chances of success are greatly improved if there is an agreement beforehand on what everyone on team expects from everyone else TEAM EXPECTATIONS Why Teams ABET Engineering Criteria Please see Attachment A below These 10 Outcomes are what you are supposed to know when graduating Please note that many of these outcomes require Team work as well as soft personal skills To fulfill ABET s criteria the students need to apply higher levels of learning Levels 5 6 in Bloom s Taxonomy see Attachment B These are Analysis Synthesis and Evaluation In addition the real world for the most part requires people to work together and interface skills etc So you might as well get used to it Talking from personal experience in a real job you will typically be a member of a team s with a specific knowledge expertise and function Your teammates will probably be from different disciplines and different background some will be really nice guys and some will be really not so nice and difficult to work with At the end the team has to accomplish their tasks What s in a Team TEAMS have already been assigned or will soon be assigned TEAM EXPECTATIONS First meeting of teams will require mutual agreement of team expectations what rules and expectations each team member agrees to abide by in their dealings together as a team First TEAM ASSIGNMENT Define TEAM EXPECTATIONS and everyone sign it with a copy turned into me These expectations are for your use and benefit I will not grade them or even comment on them unless you ask me to The list you develop should be fairly thorough without being unrealistic as this will give the team the best chance of success Realistic We will try to come prepared at each meeting or we will make sure any who misses meeting for good cause gets caught up on work Unrealistic We will never miss a meeting TEAM POLICIES Designate a coordinator recorder and checker for each meeting Rotate these roles every time Agree on a common meeting time and what each member should have done before the meeting e g literature search on a specific subject etc Do the
