. As a percentage, this is computed as 0.97or 97%. Grades of A, B, C, D, or F are assigned on traditional break lines (A > 90, 90 < B < 80, 80 0.80) versus C, D, and F (< 0.80). We hopethis approach might resonate with people using assessment data to inform goals for improvedperformance. We use a two-tailed student t-Test to identify any significant gaps between PS reported byfemale and male students and between underrepresented minorities (URM) and non-underrepresented minorities (Non-URM). In each gap analysis, the null hypothesis is that themeans between the two groups are similar. We use the t-Test on the Spring 22 data because ofthe sample size. For the Fall 22 data, we use the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum method [15] to test if

Thecurrent paper advances our understanding of boundary crossing that occur within an engineeringdesign team, and it asks: a) what boundaries were encountered in globally situated engineeringdesign projects in a Canadian University and, b) how can these boundaries enable students tomake productive progress in their global leadership skills?Theoretical PerspectivesThe study was guided by three theoretical perspectives namely: 1) Vygotsky’s socialconstructivist perspective allowed for the study of students

The literature I reviewed on happiness and productivity in general shows a correlationbetween the two. Zelenski, Murphy, and Jenkins’ research on the happy-productive workerthesis found happy workers to be more productive; and that positive affect had a strongrelationship with productivity [4]. Similarly, Oswald, Proto, and Sgroi concluded that happinessmakes people more productive [3]. This conclusion was informed by their research that showedrandomly-selected people a clip from a comedy movie, then measuring their productivity on astandardized task. Their productivity was then compared to the productivity of a control groupwho did
