use of active learning, recognizing “that true learning resultsfrom doing things and reflecting on the outcomes, not from passively receiving information.” [1,p. 111] In design education specifically, Project-Based Learning (PBL) has become the de factostandard approach of active learning across engineering curricula [2]. Its success, however,depends on student motivation - without it, students may struggle to engage fully, potentiallylimiting the positive outcomes of the pedagogy.The key feature of active learning is that it is learner-centred and therefore places moreresponsibility on the student than teacher-centred methods. Past research has described severalbarriers to student engagement with innovative active learning approaches

Engagement and Practices examines how mentors guideddoctoral students during their pre-program internships, advising and/or residencies andsupporting them after they returned to academia. The subtheme During the Pre-programInternship or Residency reflects mentors’ efforts to provide students with hands-on learningexperiences that bridged the gap between academia and industry. One mentor explained,"Because I think part of what the student wants is to see how to apply their research in a real-world environment, so we worked closely to ensure that." This quote underscores theintentionality of mentoring efforts to contextualize academic research within practical, industry-relevant settings. By working “closely,” mentors offered opportunities for

Similarly, a faculty advisor highlighted the importance ofhelping students find their voice in academic settings, even when mentors themselves must bemindful of navigating institutional power dynamics.

These virtual environmentsenable students to practice and visualize engineering concepts without geographic or schedulingconstraints. However, although simulations can effectively reinforce theoretical knowledge, theyoften lack the physical realism and unpredictability of authentic lab work [19–23].

Overall, scaffolded projects emerged as the most consistently favored format,while multimodal and real-time assessments showed potential but may require further refinement tomeet diverse student preferences.Students perceive that redesigned assessments significantly improve their critical thinking skills, witha mean rating of 4.27 and a standard deviation of 0.90.
