). The coastal engineering class presents an excellent opportunity to close that gap. Moststudents in the course are senior undergrads or graduate students, nearing their entry (or re-entry)into their professional careers, so the authors decided to hone in on the professional aspect ofcollaboration, as a way to move from simple team projects to what Ellis, Han, and Pardo wouldrefer to as “productive collaboration” (2018, p. 130). When developing the course interventionsdiscussed in this paper, the authors focused less on which skills needed to be taught, and more onshifting the context from undergraduate education to a setting more akin to professionalenvironments.

The students asked questions such as: "Why do we study this content?", "Where dowe apply what we are studying?", "How does this content help me?", and so on.
