Students in the focus group noted what aspects of the project were chosen bythe professor and what aspects were left for the students to work out among themselves. B: But you know if we are sitting in a group and we’re giving a project andnobody decided what or who to do what exactly? So that’s a big mess. C: Like last semester, I was with Dr. ----. She assigned us to do communityresearch and to write a whole research about it. And collect data by doing surveys and such andsuch.

In addition, thisstudy sought toexamine if there were differences in treatment effects between the CircuitITS (CITS) and CircuitTest Taker (CTT) interventions. Participants were eighty-three (83) undergraduate studentsenrolled in a Circuit Analysis (Network Theory) course at a Midwest public research institution inIllinois.This research study aimed to answer the following questions:a) Did exam scores of students who use Circuit Test Taker or CircuitITS differ from the scores of students who do not receive an intervention?b) Did exam scores of

All of these aspects of team guidance bythe instructor are deemed critically important to project success [2, 6].Approach to Capstone Design ExperienceThe project groups or teams for the capstone design in chemical engineering at TAMUK areformed in the fall, at the beginning of the two-semester senior design course sequence (fall-spring sequence, also known as Design II and Design III).
