performance. After eachmilestone, students evaluate themselves and teammates using a five-point behavioral scale onfive criteria: (a) contributing to the team; (b) interacting with teammates; (c) keeping the team ontrack; (d) expecting quality from the team; and (e) having relevant knowledge, skills, andabilities. Results from these surveys may be used to determine or adjust grading of individualstudents on the final report, to identify teams who could benefit from instructor intervention andto assess overall teamwork effectiveness of the students. Individual assignments were given inthe form of LinkedIn learning modules on Project Management, Sustainability in Design,Teamwork Foundations, and Unconscious Bias and Inclusive Leadership.

students overall had a high sense of community at the beginningof the semester. For Foundations, nine out of the thirteen items were lower than the mean of thescale (3.0). The averages of all items in Foundations are lower than those in CS I. The mostsignificant difference on average was for a) “I wish I had gone to another department instead ofthis one (Reversed), b) “I would recommend this department to students in my high school,’ andc) “There’s a real sense of community here.” However, due to the small number of responsesfrom the Foundation students, we cannot safely conclude that the Foundations students overallhad a lower sense of community at the beginning of the semester compared to CS I students.
