As an innovative pedagogy, flipped classroom approach enables instructors to move direct instruction out of class and convert class time to a dynamic learning environment where students engage in teamwork, problem‐solving, and other interactive activities. Previous research has concluded that, when implemented well, flipped learning has the potential not only to increase learning gain but also to improve students’ professional skills such as teamwork, communication, and life‐long learning, which are deemed to be critical in engineering education and practice. This study aimed to examine the development of teamwork skills in a flipped civil engineering course. A sequential mixed‐method approach was adopted to understand students’ attitude toward teamwork, confidence in teamwork, and teamwork skill development. Quantitative data included pre‐ and postcourse surveys and peer evaluation (PE) and self‐evaluation (SE) while qualitative data included focus group interviews. Results indicated that students’ attitudes toward teamwork slightly improved, but it was not statistically significant. Confidence in teamwork, however, significantly improved after being engaged in a semester‐long team project. Teamwork skill development was assessed through four PE and SE conducted after each major project milestone. Findings are discussed and implications for classroom implementations and future research are presented.

“…Lack of coordination, effective communication and conflicts were the major issues faced among the team members. However, these are challenges faced by students when working in small teams as well [11,13]. During the course, when these challenges were highlighted, engineering education researchers and instructors were involved in providing constructive feedback to the team members in order to overcome the challenges.…”

“…Several engineering education initiatives, such as project-based learning and team-based learning, have been used through courses in undergraduate engineering programs to promote teamwork skills and improve the learner experience [9], [10]. However, in most of the engineering classrooms, students do not consider teamwork as an important skill which is necessary to become an effective engineer, rather it is mostly seen as a course requirement in order to achieve a grade [11]. One of the important reasons behind this perception is that students are assigned to teams by instructors with the expectation that they would be able to work in teams effectively without receiving any teamwork training or constructive feedback [12].…”

Teamwork is considered one of the most important skills in engineering. Given the complexity of engineering problems, companies use large multidisciplinary teams to effectively solve them. The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of civil engineering students in a senior design course working in large teams solving a real problem. Data were collected qualitatively using semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using thematic analysis procedures. Results are provided around four major topics: the accomplishment of the students, the challenges they faced, the strategies they used to succeed, and the main differences they experienced by working in large teams vs. working in small teams.
