space is essential to architectural education.The studio is intended to give students experience with the design process, enhance timemanagement skills, and promote creativity through collaborative shared learning with fellowstudents and faculty [4]. Studio is meant to be a space where: ideas are discussed and debated, and where contradictory viewpoints can co-exist.… The Studio is a laboratory for new ideas; one of the most productive aspects of studio culture is its variety and informality; many of the best ideas arise independent of a particular class, structure, or event, through an after-hours discussion or a chance encounter. [4]An important aspect of studio culture is that it is a space for collaborative learning even outsideof

educational videos introducing theunit content and additional educational resources through Canvas. During class, students meet tolearn more about the class content and participate in discussions and other classroom activities.  Students also meet weekly in the laboratory to work in teams to solve clients’ concerns byapplying what they have learned in class.Based on the findings of Keshwani and Keshwani [3], students place interpersonal relationshipsas one of their biggest successes during their first year of college. Students also discussed theimportance of connecting with others to overcome challenges and acknowledged thatacclimating to the university plays an important role in keeping themselves motivated. Studentsconnected community with “knowing

and FarmBots will be repeated in the future. The experience gathered by theproject team and the observations documented throughout the growth cycle of the plant will allowthe project team to lay out logistics and implementation details in a more informed way.5.0 Student learning outcomesThe graduate student leading the project has indicated that for the engineering and other STEMundergraduates, it took some time to become comfortable with the demands of the field efforts butthey eventually worked well together. The out-of-classroom experiences are not limited toproblem-solving from textbooks, structured laboratory studies, or even open-ended design projectsthat are constrained by compartmentalization of knowledge in academic disciplines, and

traditional hinged bar and weight experimental set-up frombeginning physics laboratories, as illustrated in Figure 3, can be utilized for instruction in thefirst objective. Objective #2 is analytical and will involve problem solving. A vector table withpulleys and weights, also from high school physics labs, and shown in Figure 4, is planned foruse in teaching objective #3. Objective #4 can be taught using individual truck tire scales, anexample of which is provided in Figure 5, or alternatively, using contact paper and tire pressuregauges. The remaining learning objectives for this vehicle balance module will involve using asmall-scale pulling tractor that the students can either have provided or be allowed to assemble.The pulling tractor has been
