Preliminary mid-term assessment indicated thatstudents felt overwhelmed about the project and concerned that the workload is too much. Theinterdisciplinary make-up of the team has led to complications in scheduling site visits and teammeetings. To alleviate this and based on student feedback, the schedule was revised to includeone project work day each week as well as additional interim assignments to ensure that studentsare making the required progress. Specifically, the students, who were working on capstoneprojects in their various majors, felt that this was a second capstone. While that was absolutelynot the intention of the course instructors, this was a comment that

Teamwork(ABET Outcome 5, formally ABET Outcome D) received the highest rating.Considering its importance to the field, team-based assignments, particularly semester-long design projects, are commonly employed in engineering curricula.

because of the open-ended nature of the activity [30]. Sinceproject-based learning is often done in teams, students engage in reflective dialogue and weighvarious perspectives that further promote critical thinking. Students are also given moreownership over their learning process than they would with traditional course pedagogy, whichfacilitates positive motivations [29], [42]. Capstone design projects, required of all ABET-accredited programs, is just one example of such open-ended, team-based projects. 6Providing real-world scenarios with no right or wrong answers provides an ideal context forstudents to learn how to apply critical thinking to
