Abstract:By forming intimate study groups, the void of community within the intense academic lifestyle of engineering students can be filled, creating long-lasting connections throughout a student’s academic career. This research paper explores and analyzes the techniques of a student-led ad-hoc study group that was formed for a core engineering course. Through examining the trends of a successful student-led study group and its evolutionary transformation enabled by social networking, techniques of developing more collaborative environments for engineering students are enhanced. | ||
