-world issues,and consistent iteration helps both “mitigate design fixation” and “reinforce[s]...adaptive andcreative thinking” (p. 2). University makerspaces serve as a central location for students topractice knowledge learned in the classroom, and hone their design skills.Antonucci-Durgan, et. al (2014), Dukart (2016), and Whitmer (2014) acknowledge academicmakerspaces as spaces where experiential education occurs. Two examples of experientiallearning opportunities are internships and cooperative learning (co-op) programs. Whileinternships and co-op programs are encouraged in engineering education settings, there are fewestablished opportunities of such opportunities at university makerspaces.
