TwoAbstractIn this paper, we aim to summarize our efforts to understand how the identities of civil andmechanical engineering students engaged in capstone projects relate to their engagement indesign activity. Building upon our previous introductory study, we share insights from thecontent analysis of interviews with civil and mechanical engineering students engaged incapstone design courses and report initial findings related to how students’ self-perception asengineers impacts their role within the capstone team.IntroductionIn this paper, we summarize the initial results from a wider study funded through the NSF RFE(awards No. 2138019 and No. 2138106) program exploring engineering students' engagementand motivation in capstone design

Hence, asignificant body of literature has been dedicated to developing best practices in team formation.Researchers have suggested the consideration of more than a dozen different factors includingethnicity, culture, gender, personality, schedule, academic ability, engineering maturity,motivation level, project preference, prior relationships between team members, and teammember preference. Additional studies have documented the relative advantages anddisadvantages of instructor-based and student-based team selection.

For this capstoneproject an EMG based exoskeleton arm was designed and fabricated. This device is designed tobe attached to a user's arm and respond directly to the signal from the user's muscles. Once a userflexes their biceps, the skin electrodes detect the change in voltage and the EMG signal is sent toan Arduino nano. The Arduino microcontroller takes this
