Engineering students have placed demands on how they develop competency in teamwork skills, which is one of the most important competences for most engineers. Due to the advanced information technology, learning from computer-supported collaborative technologies could be more effective for learning nowadays. Brainstorming method is a form of learning in groups, combining with social media technology that can support learning to be more effective, especially for teamwork skills. In this research, we studied the engineering students' teamwork skills and the satisfaction of our learning method. We evaluated the teamwork skills in 2 ways, by the teamwork process and by the group assignment results. The findings indicate that the use of our learning method may offer an interesting way to improve engineering students' teamwork skills and feedback from students found that they are satisfied with their teamwork skill practice.
