Totest this assumption, in the Spring semester of the 2022-23 academic year we initiated a pilotstudy of a full-immersion in a Tech Startup project. This project integrated curricular credit forcoursework whose core competencies aligned with the tasks of forming a technology startupcompany. Several courses from Ohio University’s Entrepreneurship Certificate Program and theMechanical Engineering Capstone Design (semester 1) and Experimental Design courses wererestructured to allow students to have a full schedule of classes immersed in real project work.

Many adaptations were made during the pandemic to allow students to effectively work onchemical engineering capstone projects as part of a team, such as focusing on design tasks usingsimulation tools (e.g. ASPEN) and managing group meetings through video conferencing software(e.g. Google Meet) [22].

These activitiesand courses provide the collaborative, hands-on, meaningful application of engineering learningthat students need. Explicit instruction in team citizenship, shared leadership, and projectmanagement as well as the other capabilities and knowledge needed by working engineers isusually beyond the scope of these courses and experiences, yet are critical to the completeengineer.

Critical-path courses can create significant obstacles to graduationas a single DFW (grade of D, F, or withdrawal) grade in any course can impede a student'sability to graduate on time. Reducing course fail rates along the critical path significantly reducesthe students’ time to degree.

While all students take design coursesleading to their senior capstone projects, they do not all build prototypes of their work. Typically,in naval architecture and marine engineering programs, PBL projects focus on building smallmodels due to time, space, and cost issues with using full-scale vessels. Exceptions to thisapproach are taken at two colleges, where students may take elective courses that feature full-scale construction of 10-15 ft long plywood craft.

The construction industry has been naturally dependent onteamwork as almost all construction work is performed in teams. This dependency is reflected inconstruction curricula through some team-based courses such as capstone, surveying or othercollaborative classes. In addition, project-based courses tend to accommodate team-basedactivities. A similar situation may exist in engineering programs; however, engineering coursesare traditionally defined based on an instructor-learner relationship. Therefore, defining team-based educational activities depends on the instructor’s approach. The current study
