AB  - ASEE Annual Conference 2012 B.R.Dickson, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow U.K.  Selection of Effective Groups Many engineering courses incorporate group projects as standard and generally all courses will have some form of design project. The challenge for most academics is selecting groups that are well balanced and will produce a fair result for all group members that measure their technical abilities and their participation within the group.  Commonly group selection is made by balancing stronger and weaker members by academic ability, although random or self‐ selections are not unknown. Most have a common problem of “difficult” groups are there is substantial writings on this which will be reviewed in the first instance This paper will demonstrate that by borrowing a principle from management theory, that it is possible to select out unbalanced groups and give all students in the class a sense that they were in a “good group”.
