, group learning, etc. However, one type of PL, group-to-group peer learning(GGPL) is not addressed in literature. GGPL can be defined as a learning method where two ormore peer groups interact to increase the knowledge of all members. Here, the scope of the workis limited to only classmates working in pairs on their lab design projects and receiving help onlyfrom other classmate pairs. This pair-to-pair peer learning (PPPL) represents the simplest form ofGGPL where group size includes only two members per group.This paper mainly addresses students’ experiences with a novel PPPL method as it is implementedin a lab setting during a lab design project encompassing two different engineering programs,mechatronics and industrial engineering.

Since manyof these investigation and evaluation tasks are relatively new for the students, certain trainingmaterials should be provided by the instructor. However, this should not be to the extent that theprocess be dominated by input from the instructor. Instead, the students should be given room toexplore, make mistakes, learn from those mistakes and try something new. Another importantaspect here is to ensure that the overall goal is not

People who consider their current limitations predictstheir limitations in the future (e.g., “I am bad at math”), hold a fixed mindset. In contrast, peoplewho consider their current limitations can be overcome with effort or opportunity, hold a growthmindset. We posit that work in makerspaces increases the potential for students to develop agrowth mindset due to the ability to experiment with solutions and engagement in multipleattempts with no real single and correct solution.

Therefore, work is being done to design assessment that allows for student freedomwith strategies like project-based learning and learning portfolios [5]. These forms of assessmentderive from work on open-ended learning environments and self-regulated learning. Open-endedlearning is a pedagogical approach that harnesses students’ intrinsic motivation to learn [6], andself-regulated learning is when students make goals and evaluate their learning in order topractice metacognition [7].
