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.
