Preliminary mid-term assessment indicated thatstudents felt overwhelmed about the project and concerned that the workload is too much. Theinterdisciplinary make-up of the team has led to complications in scheduling site visits and teammeetings. To alleviate this and based on student feedback, the schedule was revised to includeone project work day each week as well as additional interim assignments to ensure that studentsare making the required progress. Specifically, the students, who were working on capstoneprojects in their various majors, felt that this was a second capstone.

When compared to more tangible rewardofferings in a professional setting such as promotions, bonuses, and additional vacation time, thefact that contingent reward behaviors load quite strongly with the MLQ’s transformationalbehaviors is not surprising. This conceptual understanding of the leadership phenomenon,corroborated by early works in the theory indicate that this scale may be measuring leadershipbehaviors consistent with the experiences of student mechanical engineers in a capstone setting.Next, the passive-avoidant/laissez-faire scale developed departs from the current construct of theMLQ Form 5X but is consistent with
