knowledge each student had about their project. The exam would cover areas ofgeneral system design and behavior, individual contribution, and team dynamics (i.e. individualchallenges of working in an inter-disciplinary team, and challenges the team faced).The oral exam had 6 questions, many with multiple parts. Instructors would alternate askingquestions, and either instructor could follow up on any item as desired. We quickly fell into agood rhythm where we generally each asked students the same questions.The 6 questions were as follows and presented to the students orally and only during the exam:1. Briefly tell us about your contribution in the area you led?2(a). Explain the drive train of your system and how it works.2(b). Where was

Relationship between national Hofstede Masculinity Scores and proportion of engineering bachelor’s degrees awarded to women in engineering for a) North America, b) Africa, c) Asia, d) European countries, and e) South America [4, 10].Figure 2 shows that for all continents except Europe, higher Hofstede’s masculinity is inverselyproportional to the percentage of Women in engineering with North America showing thegreatest representation of this trend. Given this relationship, the United States’ relatively highMAS score could be a contributing factor to the United States’ relatively low proportion ofwomen earning engineering degrees.Further understanding of the under-representation of women in engineering

A common theme emerged, highlighting two key factors that madethese teams special to each student. Firstly, the camaraderie among team members was highlyvalued, with participants describing the teams as close-knit environments where they formedmeaningful friendships and collaborated with large groups of people. Secondly, these teamsprovided an outlet for students to engage in design work freely, fostering creativity. Participantsexpressed appreciation for the
