Participants mentioned how their parents hold high academic expectations bywanting straight A's, pushing them to have extracurricular activities, and prioritizing theireducation. As an example, one participant mentioned, “They definitely set a standard when I wasin high school and of course when I got to college." This reflects the authoritative tendency to 9establish high standards while being responsive. It was also common for parents to be highlysupportive by assisting with homework, involving themselves in school selection, and supportingeducational goals.

StatisticsThe descriptive statistics provide insights into the participants’ characteristics and perceptions inthe study. Cumulative GPA, a measure of academic performance, shows a mean of 3.63 (SD =0.350) out of 4.00, indicating that participants generally achieved high levels of achievement.Personality traits such as Extraversion and Task control, which were rated on a 7-point scale,reflect the participants’ tendencies in group settings. The mean of 4.52 (SD = 1.418) forExtraversion indicates a propensity to actively contribute in groups, while the mean of 3.69 (SD= 1.442) for Task control suggests a balanced approach to task delegation. The mean of 7.60 on a9-point scale (SD = 1.52) indicates positive perceptions of team members’ contributions

Because of the strict grading of individual problems,multiple opportunities (two to five) must be available for most LOs, except those covered towardsthe very end of the semester.The Checkpoints are Canvas quizzes—partially auto-graded, partially manually graded—takenand submitted by students outside of class in an unproctored environment. To help maintainacademic integrity, we needed large banks of randomized questions. Building these Checkpointquizzes in a way that allows randomization but relatively efficient grading is a crucial part of asuccessful implementation of our grading scheme.

to their team, which can help or hurt the team's productivity. The course instructor is not involved in most team interactions and, thus, is less equipped to judge the influence of individual students on team dynamics. Peer evaluation tools fill this gap by eliciting feedback from the people most familiar with the team (i.e., team members). This process informs the instructor about team dynamics and helps teams improve their dynamics and performance [17].To utilize peer evaluation opportunities to improve team performance and reflect on areas ofindividual growth, students must be familiar with desirable teamwork behaviors and must be ableto clearly communicate constructive feedback to their peers. Unfortunately, it is rare for peerfeedback

Indeed, some of these changes reflect a corporate movement towards concurrentengineering that hitherto has not been experienced in academic institutions. Unfortunately, the changes required fromcorporate culture and ABET have not resulted in sweeping alterations in curriculums. Some barriers that exist to curriculumchange include the transition between old and new curriculums, consideration of transfer students, the need for faculty toredesign or even drop long existing courses, and thinking about the curriculum in terms of course pairings as well as asequence.
