I was pleasantly surprised when I came to these realizations because it is not just I who was taking the skills and qualities away once the course is finished. My team members and classmates, who got to enjoy this course with me, also learned these skills and traits. So that in the future we are all better prepared, more experienced and have a strong comprehension of course material, that we can apply it to our given engineering course, or future employment.
In the beginning I had no implication of what to expect. The very first day I showed up to a very large lecture hall. I didn’t know anyone, and I was nervous about making friends or sticking up a conversation. All my classmates from APFM, were all there and so were all the members of the other engineering degree programs too. I was confused, I remember asking myself why they would toss us all together like that. I realized very soon after why they did that. They were creating parallel Teams outside of our program team. The course directors wanted us students to mingle and merge, have the degree programs mix together so that we could make …show more content…

The school function as a group was not prominent, their conflict management needed improvement, the place with oozing with group think, as well as the teachers needing a good lesson in the four components of
