本研究探讨了工程专业学生的课堂和课外经验的独特和共同贡献的两套技能的发展，学生的成功表现为工程师：分析和小组技能。虽然这项研究的重点是工程，概念基础和标准措施是相关的教学和学习在其他领域的研究。从4198毕业的工程专业学生在全国39个校区的数据进行多元回归分析表明，控制了一系列的学生的前大学的特点，学生的课堂和课外的经验，使学生在这两个技能领域的学习统计显着和独立的贡献。
This study examined the unique and joint contributions of engineering students’ classroom and out-of-class experiences on the development of two sets of skills central to students’ successful performance as engineers: analytical and group skills. Although the study focuses on engineering, the conceptual underpinnings and criterion measures are relevant to studies of teaching and learning in other fields. Multiple regression analyses using data from 4198 graduating engineering students on 39 campuses nationwide indicate that, after controlling an array of students’ precollege characteristics, both students’ classroom and out-of-class experiences make statistically significant and independent contributions to student learning in both skill areas.
