This resulted in student teams not having basic contextualunderstanding of the issue they wanted to study, until late stages of the project, with somestudent teams trying to establish linear models between e.g

While a seemingly easy solution, increasing credit hours on thebaccalaureate level is fraught with a number of well documented challenges including cost,requiring more than four years of study, and political pressure on the state level [12].
