The research is being conductedwith a large enough sample size of different sections of students within the same course andlimits the number of faculty involved in teaching to reduce confounding variables in the study.The TEAMMATES tool provides the primary data collection at various points throughout thecourse (e.g., after an assignment, or incentive/disincentive event) to capture its impact on studentperformance.

For betterresults, materials that are more expensive would need to be purchased, which did not align withour constraints. This was overcome by using lower quality materials, such as cardboard,electronics, and 3D printed parts, that were either created by the team or obtained through ouruniversity's First Year Engineering Learning and Innovation Center (FYELC).

He explained this by saying, “I feel like a lot of engineering would be hands-on work.Like if you had a specific engineering class, um, it would be very hands-on, um, in terms ofdesigning and chemistry has a lot of hands-on stuff, but those are more scientific processes.
