This systematic literature review forms the first part of a larger research project into teamwork skills development and aims to answer the following research question: What factors have been found to be significant to the development of teamwork skills in tertiary engineering courses? This was limited to tertiary engineering contexts and 59 papers were included in the final qualitative synthesis published between 2015 and 2022. Factors that were identified included planning, management, team-based factors, individual factors, project factors and time dependent factors that, through their dynamic interrelations, all contribute to what we conceive as teamwork skills development. Future research must focus on rich, nuanced and inclusive understandings of students at the individual level as well as the team level. To address modern challenges, engineering graduates must develop strong transversal skills related to teamwork, this review provides researchers and educators with a roadmap to advancing the body of teamwork research as well as developing the teamwork skills of engineering students.
