Teams were formed in the first lab based on thecriterion of “Make teams heterogeneous in ability [9]”. Therefore, students were asked toconduct a self-efficacy survey to select their top three abilities from the following five skills:mathematics and data analysis, use of computer-aided design software, handy experimentaltesting, written and oral communication, and leadership.
