(i.e., graduate and seniortechnical elective) geotechnical engineering courses at California Polytechnic State University.The peer review process was established as an integral part of a term project that included awritten report and oral presentation to the class. A staged sequence of deadlines and milestoneswas administered to assure that students maintained progress with their projects. The format ofthe term papers was highly prescribed and based on a template for technical conferencemanuscripts. Content from the student projects was included in the final examination supportinga students teaching students integrated learning environment. Peer review was determined to bebeneficial to the students in terms of both technical content and
diverse student populations, as prior work has shown that low self-efficacyis often a contributor to attrition [5, 6].Within an undergraduate curriculum at a small, teaching-focused institution in the southeast, anintegrated student outcome thread focused on development of civil engineering design skills wasadopted and mapped by faculty across a series of 16 departmental courses.

This leads to many engineering educators to choose lecture capture—streamed and/or recorded— as a way to serve distance education students. However, this approach fails to make use of the capabilities of quality online

According to Schon 3, the main features of reflection in action are learning by doing,coaching rather than teaching, and creating a dialogue between coach and student. Effectiveforms of learning by doing in real laboratories have been implemented in Engineering Education,especially for capstone courses 4. Alternatively, a methodology of building a simulated scenario,in which the student can learn-by-doing while interacting with fictitious characters (some ofwhom provide coaching), has been proposed by Schank 5 as an effective form of
