teamsAbstractPsychological safety is emerging in the literature as a gateway to creating high performing teamsand high team satisfaction. Studies have demonstrated that psychological safety is a keyingredient in the ability of teams to perform to a higher degree than they otherwise would be ableto. In this research, we continue to expand the assessment of psychological safety in seniorcapstone teams to include data from engineering programs across four different institutions toprovide a sense of the experiences on capstone design teams and impacts interventions mayhave. We also begin to explore approaches to improve psychological safety in senior capstoneteams by focusing on improving students’ awareness of their ethics (the principles that guidetheir choices). The
