. - Engineering controls mean physical changes to the trip arrangements. The travelers on the move have limited capacity for luggage, so these changes need to be mindful. For example, if the voltage level and power plugs at the destinations are different from home, the trip participants should check their devices’ range of voltage ratings and take converters if needed. We also provide reusable notebooks to the participants so that the scans of the pages can be uploaded to an online server then the content on those pages can be erased and reused. This kind of notebook doesn’t take much space or weight and is very useful for the students to take journals without the need to take a laptop, a pad, or

These skillsare crucial for professional engineering environments.It is interesting to consider the impact on collaborative learning beyond the project structure,which equipped students with basic experimental and analytical skills, as they communicatedoutside their comfort zones with like-minded peers. However, the diversity of the groups mayhave led to some students finding the experiment too easy or difficult, depending on their priorexposure to STEM topics, which may have led to natural leadership or follower roles.
