1st CeTUSS Workshop
Collaboration in Engineering Education
in collaboration with IEEE Nordic Education Society Chapter
Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
December 6 - 7 , 2004
The ability to collaborate is an important skill that we want our students to possess. There are many results that indicate that there are learning benefits when students collaborate in their studies. This motivated us to examine issues relevant to incorporating collaboration in engineering education.
