Ms. Nicole Lynn Larson, University of CalgaryNicole is completing her final year of her Masters in Industrial Organizational psychology at the University of Calgary under the supervision of Dr. Thomas O'Neill. Nicole has been working with the Schulich School of Engineering for the past two years. During this period she has been involved in several initiatives such as assessing student learning and engagement, implementing systems for peer evaluations, and leading teamwork training sessions. She is currently conducting research on team learning processes in engineering student project teams. Additionally, she has co-developed a framework for measuring and interpreting an array of team dynamics. An online assessment tool has been created based on this framework which allows teams to diagnose and improve the "health" of their team. She is passionate about her area of research and plans to continue conducting research on factors that contribute to effective teamwork. Ms. Amanda Deacon, University of CalgaryI am currently in my second year masters in Industrial Organizational Psychology at the University of Calgary under the supervision of Dr. Tom O'Neill. My area of focus is teams within organizational contexts and that results in a plethora of research conducted with engineering students. Our lab uses these results to better prepare engineering students for teamwork within institutions of all kinds, educational and business. Ms. Genevieve Hoffart, University of CalgaryGenevieve is completing her honours degree under the supervision of Dr. Thomas O'Neill at the University of Calgary looking at the influence processes in teams. She has been working with the Schulich School of Engineering for the past three years during which time her focus has been on improving team dynamics and maximizing the student experience. In addition co-developing the communication training framework that has now been applied to over 2500 students campus wide, Genevieve has personally facilitated many of the training sessions.
