accompaniedby a detailed budget and launch plans to begin taking effect in 2025. Having no experienceworking with one another prior to this project, the group was required to quickly develop aproductive team ethos to address such a large challenge. The aim of this study is to assess theoutcomes and reactions during a project from a diverse group of students attempting to completean unusual capstone design. Accompanying this are pre-, intra-, and post-project surveys toassess effectiveness of the group on key project issues. The primary research questions to answerare: does the perception of the group regarding effectiveness positively correlate with thefeelings of ownership of the project and feelings that the individual students’ passions are

Often theseinterests can be recast in a way that also adds to the capability of SSPL. Similarly, this programallows for the integration of outside student groups, such as senior capstone projects or studentspursing independent studies and theses.Second, previous projects have occasionally struggled with pressures from students trying toprepare mission-critical components on the project timeline.
