Leckie and Fullerton [21] investigated the engagement of faculty in thedevelopment of information literacy and communication skills across science and engineeringdisciplines. The study found faculty would prefer librarians take the lead in teaching informationliteracy skills, and expect students to be able to integrate what they learn about locating andevaluating information into their written or presented work. These research and communicationskills become critical in a curriculum where students engage in experiential or project-basedlearning methods as their academic careers progress [9], [22].MethodologyThis project is a

First, I would like toreference two studies supporting the argument that experiential education is optimal forpreparing students for ethical practice in their future careers. Second, I would like to add fodderto the iteration argument we have laid down regarding ethics.First, in light of one of our recent work [22], it is apparent that folks tend to teach ethics in amanner that is less experiential than Dewey (and we) would think ideal. Specifically, engineeringeducation seldom provides students with explicit opportunities to act ethically in real engineeringenvironments (which I define very broadly), let alone critically reflect; but is simply

[18] introduced a one credit hour lab-based course that introduces students to engineeringby rotating groups through each engineering discipline. The results showed that this approachhelped to improve retention rate by 17%. Dini et al. also demonstrated that the student who takesa design-based course in their freshman year are 19% more likely to retain engineering conceptsin their subsequence years in engineering field when compared to students who did notparticipate in a freshmen design course [19]. In short, providing a hands-on experience-basedlearning opportunity to the student early in their engineering career will improve learningretention.Along the same line, to mitigate these

In the learning context of PBL, students develop authenticquestions for problems that are situated within real-world practices [3], which leads tomeaningful learning experiences [4].Competences, such as critical thinking and communication skills promoted by PBLmethodologies, are increasingly important for engineering practice.

The chapter discusses two overarching purposes of scaffolds: to guidestudents through the task such that they are able to effectively engage with the problem, and toassist students in identifying and focusing on the most important aspects [14]. Such prompting issignificant for fostering agency and deeper engagement in students, who need to prepare forsimilar situations in their future careers.
