The clinic of law ormedicine is sometimes practiced as a capstone educational experience in fields of engineering.Having engineering students work together on a project is becoming a prominent pedagogicalapproach in upper-level engineering undergraduate courses and graduate courses. This directlysupports the professional practice and professional formation for many fields of engineering andaddresses many ABET student learning outcomes.A multiple case-study approach was used to apply and illustrate a “product”-based learningframework

Role of Feedback in PBL Courses Project-based learning (PBL) courses are a common pedagogical approach used to teach engineering design [13], especially in senior capstone and first-year cornerstones. The team- and project-focused nature of PBL courses helps students develop essential professional skills such as communication [14], conflict management [15], and collaboration with diverse team members [16]. Another unique aspect of the PBL format is the team dynamics in every project group. Each team forms a culture and workflow unique

offers a valuable framework for investigating various behaviors, it is importantto acknowledge its limitations in capturing the potential influence of power dynamics and otherconfounding elements. For example, power imbalances within a capstone engineering teamcould shape individuals’ behaviors in ways that extend beyond their personal beliefs, which maynot be fully captured by the RAA’s focus on individual beliefs and intentions. Similarly,contextual factors may influence behaviors in ways that are not adequately represented by theRAA. In the capstone engineering example, project complexity or time pressures could be suchfactors. To address these concerns, researchers could incorporate qualitative methods andcontextual factor measures, such as
