groups passed through an ‘overcoming discomfort period’ trying to get toknow each other and build rapport between team members.Based on motivation and class performance. In another semester of the highway engineeringcourse, student groups were assigned based on their motivation levels and class performance atthe transportation engineering class that was a prerequisite for the highway engineering class.Highly motivated students with Transportation Engineering course grade “A” or “B”, wereassigned in groups with less motivated students with grades “C”, and “D”. It should be statedthat, here, highly motivated students were all the ones who expressed an interest in transportationengineering and wanted to do well in the related courses. Also, all
