,Assimilating, Converging, and Accommodating. Project-based experiential learning ideallyharnesses a student’s natural interest and motivation to navigate an iterative path of evolvingexperiences, each of which enhance learning in different ways. Figure 1: Kolb's Experiential Learning Conceptual ModelImplementation of the experiential learning model is commonly done through project-basedlearning. Blumenfeld et al. defined project-based learning as, “A comprehensive perspectivefocused on teaching by engaging students in investigation.” 23 Within this framework, studentspursue solutions to nontrivial problems by asking and refining questions, debating ideas, makingpredictions, designing plans and/or experiments, collecting and

In 1950, the Georgia Tech Library was made a Depository for the Atomic EnergyCommission (AEC), together with fifty or so other research libraries. Reports from AEC weremade available to engineers, scientists, industrialist and others to help foster scientific researchand industrial development in Georgia and the southeast region. Under Crosland’s direction, theLibrary also added reports from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), theOffice of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), which was superseded by the NationalDefense Research

incollaborative research settings, especially at the graduate level. Graduate engineering studentsare immediately expected to assimilate into a laboratory group, usually an interdependent team,with varying degrees of guidance by faculty members. The group dynamics and the role of trustas graduate students learn to conduct collaborative research is underexplored, but may haveramifications for the way in which graduate programs are structured or in how graduate studentsare matched with potential research advisors.Other theories and research also seek to understand mechanisms by which experts innovate inprofessional settings, and many of these have been applied to engineering education. Theories ofdistributed cognition 20 have been employed to understand
