process exercised within and beyond the classroom and a vitalprofessional skill. Engineers, in particular, must adjust to rapidly evolving technologies andpractices that require continuous learning and adaptation long after their initial formal trainingand transition into their professional careers.Education research emphasizes the need for engineering students to hone these lifelonglearning skills. Effective learning requires them to adopt self-regulated learning strategies tosynthesize and apply knowledge, and evaluate problems using engineering principles effectively(Zimmerman, 2000). However, students often default to ineffective learning strategies such asrereading, highlighting, repetition, and rote memorization (Blasiman et al., 2017

Highachievement in these engineering design contexts requires students to exhibit both creativeingenuity and technical proficiency, an integration critical to navigating ambiguities inherent indesign. Cultivating these dual competencies presents a persistent challenge for educators andstudents in project-based making and manufacturing courses, where measures of studentperformance often prioritize mastery of tools, technology, or processes over intentional designpractices.This challenge was evident in an intermediate-level, project-based engineering design

According to Naz and Murad (2017),innovative pedagogy is rooted in the belief that every learner has the potential for success whenprovided with the appropriate tools and strategies. These teaching methods recognize the uniquepersonality characteristics of each student and leverage these traits to optimize learning outcomes[14].

Engineering lab-based courses afford not only collaborative opportunities for discussionsabout concepts but also group interactions with assistive technologies. By providing opportunitiesfor students to meaningfully co-construct their knowledge in discourse (i.e., collaborative learning[17] students may engage in argumentation to negotiate their positions to establish common ground[18]. For example, a student might discuss the phenomena of torsion as a transversely applied pointload to which a peer may counter that it is a force acting at a distance that causes rotation of thecross-section (i.e., argumentation) [12].
