Based onthe follow-ups, the reason for most drops were identified as arisen conflicts in the team at the timein which the surveys were administrated. Identified conflicts included: diverging ideas on system(s)integration, a lack of collaboration among one or more disciplines due to personalities, confusion16 FALL 2017ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATIONSurvey Tools for Faculty to Quickly Assess Multidisciplinary Team Dynamicsin Capstone Courseson the direction to proceed that will produce

WHY do engineers need to be proficient at communicating through writing, orally, and graphically? 2. What skill(s) do you think you need to work on most and WHY?Results and DiscussionsQuantitative ResultsThe quantitative results are summarized in Table 2 for better comparison. The results of thesurvey, regardless of the type of the communication, show a meaningful positive change in thelevel of the students’ confidence in each category at the end of the semester, with the largestchange belonging to the graphical communication. In addition, we carried out a paired t-test onthe average of

ofconnectedness and belonging is very a challenging task, and that perhaps ten survey questions are not enoughto do that. The research team would like explore this further by conducting a more rigorous research studythat involves improved survey instruments, qualitative essay questions, and focus groups. Moreover, theresearchers conclude that although a short activity or intervention in a course might positively impact senseof belonging, it is essential to think more broadly and deeply as to how to positively impact sense ofbelonging for our students.

second modification to the alterative assessment scheme is the integration of more evaluationsessions throughout the semester (e.g., category three), which will allow students to know theiracademic standing in the course early in the course. For this particular accommodation, the authorsare planning to include a thorough evaluation session regarding the comprehension of lecturematerial and assignments for each student. As such, the integration of these two modifications willbe implemented and evaluated in subsequent semesters.REFERENCES[1] Balaji, N., Murthy, P., Kumar, D., Chaudhury, S.
