This research paper answers the question that how shall the students of software engineering undergraduate courses form teams for the capstone projects that can be cohesive too. In this research, 128 criteria for team formation are proposed for building teams for self-managing software engineering capstone projects. A comparison is also conducted to ascertain the level of cohesion among those teams that were formed using the proposed criteria and those that were not formed using the proposed criteria. The criteria were identified through a combination of qualitative questionnaire survey targeted at the graduated students of the past batches of Computer Science degree program and through synthesizing the literature on engineering capstone project teams identified under the guidance of KSAO framework for software engineering students. To check the effectiveness of the criteria, 100 students were asked to form the teams using the proposed criteria and other 100 students formed the teams without the proposed criteria. Those students that had used the proposed criteria for building teams and those that had formed teams without using the proposed criteria were asked to fill the modified Group Environment Questionnaire to ascertain the level of cohesion among the team members. The results were analyzed qualitatively and through descriptive quantification. The results show that the level of cohesion in teams that were formed using the proposed team building criteria was higher. There was a need for team building criteria in the literature on software engineering capstone project teams that conforms to a conceptual, theoretical framework; this gap is now filled through this research. This paper may also serve as a literature review paper for some readers.

本研究论文回答了软件工程本科生如何组建具有凝聚力的顶点项目团队的问题。在这项研究中，提出了 128 条团队组建标准，用于构建自我管理软件工程顶点项目的团队。还进行了比较，以确定使用拟议标准组建的团队和未使用拟议标准组建的团队之间的凝聚力水平。该标准是通过针对往届计算机科学学位课程毕业生的定性问卷调查和综合在软件工程学生 KSAO 框架指导下确定的工程顶点项目团队的文献而确定的。为了检查标准的有效性，要求 100 名学生使用建议的标准组建团队，另外 100 名学生则不使用建议的标准组建团队。使用拟议标准组建团队的学生和未使用拟议标准组建团队的学生被要求填写修改后的团体环境调查问卷，以确定团队成员之间的凝聚力水平。对结果进行定性分析和描述性定量分析。结果表明，使用所提出的团队建设标准组建的团队的凝聚力水平更高。关于软件工程顶点项目团队的文献中需要符合概念、理论框架的团队建设标准；这项研究现已填补了这一空白。本文也可以作为一些读者的文献综述。
