differences lead to inequitable practices within teams such as unfair distributionsof the workload or type of work, often in problematic ways. For example, active and dominantstudents might advocate for themselves to take on the more challenging and interesting parts of aproject, leaving the more mundane and menial work to their passive teammates. Mix-genderedteams in engineering education have been found to have unbalanced work distribution: womenmay do more work related to planning or communication, while men may do more technicalwork [1]. Such disproportionate allocation of work and assumption of roles lead to studentsobtaining unequal gains from team projects, for which the more active student might have hadthe more enjoyable and useful

Deployment (QFD) emerged in Japan in the 1970’s with the objective ofinstilling quality in product development. QFD is built on the foundation of the “voice of thecustomer” and is intended to be applied from early stage design through production [1], [2]. Itgained acceptance in Japan and in the United States and remains a popular component of thedesign process [3], [4]. QFD techniques are often implemented by multi-functional teams thatdefine the customers’ requirements early in the design process and translates them intoengineering specifications [5]–[7]. It is then intended to be used to analyze components andmanufacturing processes, and serve as a tool for later quality assurance efforts [6].QFD is often incorporated in undergraduate engineering

Colleges anduniversities abruptly stopped in-person instruction and instead required remote teaching.Instructors’ challenges included preparing virtual lessons, learning videoconferencing software,and selecting appropriate graded assessments. At the same time, students’ learning routines weredisrupted as many returned home and were away from their peers; some students also lost thesafety net that the university provided, such as reliable food and shelter [1]. Furthermore, bothstudents and faculty were affected by limited internet connectivity and additional familyresponsibilities due to the
