timed trial.ParticipantsThe participants for this study came from a mid-Atlantic engineering focused institution andwere all in the final year of their undergraduate curriculum. All students came exclusively froma mechanical engineering background and were enrolled in this capstone design project as acourse requirement for graduation within their major. These students were given the option toenroll in one of forty-one projects, with this particular project having an enrollment limit of tenstudents. Of the ten student team members, eight agreed to be interviewed. Of the studentparticipants, there were seven males and one female with experience ranging from courseworkonly, to several years in industry. Amongst these students were three active
