This paper was presented at the 2008 Engineering Conference - Innovation Good Practice and Research in Engineering Education.
This paper discusses the authors’ many years of experience in the delivery of alternate models for the engagement of student groups and their participation in teamskills development on both residential and inhouse courses that serve to underpin degree programme activity. The paper reviews some of these alternate models reflects on their relative merits and discusses examples where graduating students have also given their own reflections on their experience of teamskills development. The examples are taken from programmes run at the University of Birmingham and cover both undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes.
