Abstract:

Beyond the technical skills of engineering, students of any engineering discipline need to develop teamwork knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) in order to be successful. Various intervention strategies within education systems have been utilized to promote development of teamwork skills and practices in the past. The research team has incorporated the cooperative yet engaging activity based on the commercial board game Pandemic, where students work as a team to play against the game rather than against each other. The activity was introduced to three different engineering departments, highlighting its adoptability. While some discrepancies exist, the qualitative and quantitative data suggest the impact on a department is the same.
