courses commonly occur near the end of abaccalaureate program. Large demands on time are made at a time when students are preparingto graduate and extrinsic motivators are low; grades are not critical to students who have alreadyfound a job or been accepted to graduate school. For these reasons motivation is hypothesized tobe critical to success and the peer evaluation is analyzed using constructs of motivation theory.Following previous research on the role of goals in academic achievement this work assumesthat students in the capstone design course set goals for themselves which they work to achieve.Achievement goals are generally divided into either mastery goals or performance goals 18.Mastery goals are inwardly directed toward developing ones

However,as Immekus et al. pointed out 2, the measurement of teamwork is especially challenging, sincethe sub-domains used to represent teamwork are inconsistent across studies, and most of theliterature on teamwork comes from industry-based rather than academic teams.
