In practice, engineers often work in teams. The reason for this is not far-fetched. Most engineering problems are complex and challenging, and would require collective skills, experiences, and knowledge of several engineers to tackle them. That is why potential employers in engineering firm now consider the ability to work in a team an essential skill to be sought for when hiring new talents. In cognizance of the afore-stated fact, The Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires in one of its criteria that students be well prepared to be able to function in high performing teams upon completion of their studies. That informed the need for this survey study on the effectiveness of teamwork and team-based learning as perceived by students in the study teams and groups. Participants were survey on seven attributes that promote effective teamwork, and statistical analysis was performed to draw conclusion and make recommendations on how faculty in engineering colleges can help enhance these attributes in their students.
