and tested with industrial and mechanicalengineering undergraduate students (in capstone courses) and industrial engineering graduatestudents (in a seminar) over a four year period. This workshop utilizes a relational Structure ofObserved Learning Outcomes (SOLO) approach, which intentionally encourages learners tobuild connections between parts and the whole, to explore the significance and meaning behindthese connections, and to connect theory and practice[3].
