Abstract

The new engineering criteria emphasize the importance of teamwork in all engineering programs and give us a challenge in the absence of guidelines to form highly functional teams. This study presents the results of the investigation that measures the effects of using personality profiles in forming laboratory groups. Two courses with laboratory components were chosen to run this experiment for two semesters. The performances of the groups were evaluated by giving them anonymous surveys at the end of the semesters.

Introduction

The undergraduate population in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department is diverse and groups of minorities and international students constitute approximately 30% of the population. There are no guidelines as to how to form the laboratory groups such that the improved interaction between group members will positively affect the group performance. There
