A data point was generated any semester where thiswas true. 89 people filled out the survey. Out of the 27 engineering clinic teams during the 2016-2017 school year, 13 teams fulfilled the requirements above for each of their team leaders, and 2teams fulfilled these requirements for the spring semester leader alone. 10 teams had someresponse, but not enough participants to generate a data point. 1 team had no responses.

For example, gender-basedconversation styles are assumed to derive from differences in male and female childhood socialfactors and are generalized as cross-cultural communications.1 Likewise, ethnic, religious, andother differences are treated as cultural factors. The model input is the individual difference tobe considered, leaving culture as simply an overarching basis for those inputs.Examples of typical LDPM differences are shown in Table 1. Because race does not alwaysalign with specific cultural factors, it is not a preferred LDPM input. Ethnicity is favored overrace. In pursuing diversity as a
