Coarsening, Best Choice clustering requiredsignificant modifications to the original algorithm in order to accommodate the changes. Inaddition to the lists and maps constructed in the previous part, a special map was constructed forstudents who are connected via mutually enrolled non-lecture courses. These could be tutorial orlaboratory sections. The rationale behind removing lectures is to reduce the density of theconnections in the network. There would be more opportunities for cohort-based collaborationsin tutorial and laboratory sections, as opposed to during lectures. Hence, effective cohorts couldstill be formed by disregarding lecture sections.Using the two sets of constructed lists and connectivity maps, for students connected by allcourses

different methods of delivering engineering and science laboratorycontents in a remote learning environment. Remote or virtual laboratory content could beprovided through computer screens, where students interact with physical apparatus using remotecontrol and make observations with cameras installed in the labs [3]. Some other educationalstudies have explored having students use components and materials available at home [4], andin some cases where resources permit, delivering physical lab kits for the students to useremotely [5][6]. These studies on various practices have demonstrated the effectiveness ofdifferent types of remote laboratory delivery methods, however, in some disciplines and courses,physical hands-on experience is still essential

Engineering Track CoreCourses offer students the chance to concentrate on a specific area of mechanical engineering. Inthe mechanical engineering curriculum from this study, one of the concentrations available tostudents has a laboratory component that requires students to become familiar with usingmachine shop tools. Additionally, other concentrations in the mechanical engineering curriculumalso have a laboratory component that requires students to work with machinery.

Meanwhile, higher-level courses where students are moreadept at use of instrumentation and component manipulation could incorporate those skills intothe troubleshooting process, or be presented with added challenges requiring motivation ofadvanced theoretical knowledge and laboratory techniques toward development of a feasiblesolution.The literature indicated that, in programs where a project-based approach to design integrationwas adopted, improvements in retention rates, increased student satisfaction

IntroductionEngineering design courses with hands-on laboratories are a critical component of an engineeringundergraduate curriculum. In particular, incorporating design courses early has been shown tohelp with retention rates in engineering, as well as with improved ability of students to solve open-ended problems [1, 2]. These courses have also shown student progress in academic achievementby helping to build confidence in their engineering skills, and by expanding their perspective onproblems and solutions [3, 4].

The engineering students, in contrast, typically had far less experience working in teamson open-ended projects. By the time the engineering students began their Senior Design capstonecourse, their previous team experience was limited to a few clearly defined class projects with alimited scope or partnering with one or two other students in a laboratory class.A fourth difference between the engineering and BCOM groups in this study is the greaterexposure to leadership, teamwork, management, and similar concepts that the business studentshave received throughout their prior coursework.

Beyond the reflection engendered bythe process, following the visit one concern was that curricular limitations did not allow studentsto take a sufficient number of electives. This finding resulted in faculty more broadly looking atthe curriculum rather than just specific, focused changes in existing courses.The second and third factors—a new chair and young faculty—were simply coincidental since anew, external department chair had been hired less than two years before the ABET visit at atime when 70% of the faculty in the department had been at PALACE for less than a

Thecognitive model of situated learning—which apprenticeship falls under—engages experts totrain students (novices), often placing them in side-by-side working situations [4]. This format isconducive to the teaching of procedural techniques, such as laboratory methods, shop methods,coding, and culinary processes. Both the presentation of content and the participation bystudents are necessarily active and social in this educational style [5]. These types of instructioncombine explicit and tacit knowledge [6] and in doing so focus on the practice of what it
