While most of them focus either on course-based research projects oron undergraduate students’ experiences, few document authentic learningexperiences unfolding in real time among and between graduate students inresearch laboratories. Therefore, we situate our study in the context of authenticresearch experiences in

In the followingsections, we will detail our training model development as we have created lectures and practicalclass components focusing on the acquisition of teaming skills and the practice of effectiveteamwork in a Unit Operations laboratory course.
