Ideally, concerns are addressed early, and thestudent is mentored to overcome weaknesses or deficiencies in regards to research.

differences between BEand MAE groups. First, the BE groups’ flows suggest an increase of reported engagement nearthe end the project. We suspect that this increase is due to the impending deadlines. The BEexperts commented that they usually saw a similar pattern among the undergraduate students intheir laboratory. Second, the MAE groups’ design process flow pattern suggests an incrementalreported engagement from the problem definition phase to the conceptual design phase and thento the preliminary design phase. A similar trend was not found in the BE groups’ flows. Oneinterpretation of this pattern is that the MAE groups’ design process was design-phase-drivenwhile the BE groups were design-activity-driven [13]. We suspect the discipline principles
