experience is how individuals interpret and act on that information” [8]. Adeserved criticism from industry, where most students go after graduation, is that most universityengineering programs do not incorporate enough hands-on activities (experience) with actualequipment. This is referred to as “practical intelligence” [9]. U.S. undergraduate engineeringeducation has a heavy emphasis on theory with much less emphasis on practical applications[10].Wankat and Oreovicz write, “Despite almost universal agreement on the importance of designand laboratory work, there is a tendency to cut these programs since they are expensive, messy,hard to teach, time-consuming, and not connected to the university’s other mission – research”[11].

The assessment here is purely formative, with no"grade" given, serving only to guide students in conducting and describing their work.It is also proposed that students be able to realize and demonstrate their ideas, so in thePrototyping stage, students used the institution's facilities (laboratories, FabLab, projectspaces) to model, assemble, and test prototypes.The results of this phase of the work were presented in the form of

The authors will revise the course objectivesfor future versions of the course to be more in line with the three goals listed above.Design of CourseTo meet the three course goals described above, we used the following simple approach to designthe course modules: 1) identify a subdiscipline of civil engineering, 2) identify a physical conceptthat is relevant to that

social skills are likely to vary widely among engineering students [2], there isa benefit to creating opportunities for students to develop and refine their skills. A potential idealenvironment for teaching and developing social skills is laboratory situations in which studentscollaborate as they work in teams [3, 4].Students are much more likely to experience positive growth in their social skills when thosethey seek support from when learning (e.g., faculty members, and mentors) integrate and modeleffective social skills in their interactions [5]. Thus, there is justification for researching thestudents’ awareness and understanding of the social skills modeled for them in their interactionswith their learning leaders. Specific to our research
