Development of team skills is vital to becoming a successful and productive engineer. To prepare students for successful team-based work, they need a basic understanding of the organizational psychology underpinning teamwork and an introduction to tools and techniques to develop and sustain team effectiveness. The goal of this paper is to introduce faculty to strategies, techniques, and tools that can be utilized to build teamwork skills during team-based assignments and projects. The paper will summarize the most relevant and useful tools for technical teams while also providing suggested resources and readings for advanced content. The content is tailored based upon the needs of chemical engineering faculty in laboratory and project and product design courses. The tools provided will not only aid in the execution of the course, they will prepare students to tackle a variety of team-based opportunities.
