Group work was usually disconnected from technical engineering content andtended not to include engineering project work. Little formative assessment of the learning processexisted and the predominant approach relied upon summative assessments (e.g., individual end-of-semester written examinations). During the mid-2000s, some transformation in engineeringeducation occurred, with change manifested though the implementation of problem- or project-based learning (PBL) wherein the traditional curriculum began to include several ‘islands’ of PBL.For the academic year 2009/10, a
