Even in the online setting, which was used to accommodate studentswho were unable to make it in person during the first offering of the summer program due tovarious reasons, students were able to work through the detailed instructions and execute theexperiment with real-time guidance and troubleshooting help from the instructor. An informal in-class poll was conducted to gauge the familiarity of fluid flow-based topics like flow rate,friction, pressure drop, and viscosity. Of these four topics, the most familiar topic was friction,while flow rate was the least familiar. However, the familiarity did not come from fluid flowcontext but from having heard the word “friction” from day-to

Our findings suggest that including an individual portion in lab group assignmentspositively impacts students. The average scores for the individual contribution portion of the labreports were 92%. The approach was shown to increase accountability among individual membersof the lab groups, as students who self-identified as “waiting to the last minute” were shown tosubmit individual portions on time (75%). Furthermore, the early submission requirementencouraged effective time management across all students, exemplified by the on-time submissionrate of 94% on individual portions, thereby diminishing the
