Workshop Title
Making Teamwork Effective in Engineering design Using State of the Art Team Diagnostics
Do some teams in your classes struggle to work well together? Have you ever wondered how you could design your course for optimal teamwork and high-quality, educational projects?

Workshop Abstract
Join us for this informative and interactive workshop to learn how you can use ITPmetrics.com to optimize your teams and support student development through self-awareness and improved team dynamics. During this session, we will demonstrate how our evidence-based suite of assessments can help support effectiveness during a team's lifespan (e.g., from team launch to performance and feedback cycles to final outcomes) and provide opportunities to check-in on team dynamics and functioning during critical points for typical student learning teams. Following an interactive walk-through of the platform, you will then get to try ITPmetrics.com out for yourself! You will leave the session with a personalized report and recommended development activities based on your Conflict Management Styles (the same report your students would receive) and the hands-on skills to start utilizing ITPmetrics.com for your teams!
