-reliance in developing their own writing skills [5]. They suggested self-assessment strategies which force students to take greater responsibility for their work, andactive engagement in the writing and editing process [6]. Various other strategies have beenreported in the literature to support student writing, including peer-reviewing [7], writing-to-learn approaches, partnering with library [8], the use of writing tutors, [9] and the creation ofspecific assessment rubrics for written communication [10-12].Rubrics serve as a great tool to convey expectations regarding student work. While rubrics arevaluable tools for setting clear expectations, they do not always ensure that students wouldinclude all essential components in their reports. Our

$1M in research grants to study writing transfer of engineering undergraduates. For technical research, he has a long-standing involvement in research concerned with the manufacturing of advanced composite materials (CFRP/titanium stack, GFRP, nanocomposites, etc.) for marine and aerospace applications. His recent research efforts have also included the fatigue behavior of manufactured products, with a focus on fatigue strength improvement of aerospace, automotive, and rail structures. He has been the author or co-author of over 200 peer-reviewed papers in these areas.Dr. Charles Riley P.E., Oregon Institute of Technology Dr. Riley has been teaching mechanics concepts for over 10 years and has been honored with

were encouraged to compare their TinkerCAD designs to theprovided solution during class for the first three circuit design labs.Figure 2 - Updated Pre-Lab flow chart. The blue round-corner boxes depict assignments, pink rectangles are newimplementations of feedback mechanisms, yellow rectangles are scheduled course meetings, and red boxes with vertical lines aremanual points of feedback from TAs.Lab protocols were revised to include self-assessment and peer checkpoints. These checkpointsprompted students to verify their results, compare them with theoretical expectations, andidentify discrepancies. Table 1 - Summary of feedback mechanisms Type Source Recipient

rather than the use or development of educational equipment, or lackedrigorous peer review, such as catalogues or whitepapers, were also screened out. This process wasconducted to ensure only relevant research was included for further analysis. In the full-text review phase papers were excluded for focusing on course design over kitdesign (n =19), focused on the technical development of a remote lab server (n=15), did not appearto be applicable to engineering students (n = 10), were for a demographic that is younger than thescope of this review (n=10), did not have significant relevance to BME or engineering students(n = 11), did not have significant educational use (n = 5) or were not formatted in a way that wascompatible with the review

,including a hypothesis to test, equipment to use, and data that they propose to collect. GraduateTeaching Assistants (TAs) and the laboratory manager review the proposals and either approve themor require further development. Once their proposal is approved, students use the remaining weeksto complete their study and write a full technical report, which they submit using an assignedpseudonym. The project finishes with each student conducting a single-blind Peer Review of astudent’s work from another lab section. Grading is based on the TA’s assessment of the report andthe Peer Evaluation.Pre- and post-surveys of the students measure their self-efficacy, among other aspects of theirexperience with the course, to evaluate the effectiveness of this

apprenticeship (Ahmad, 2022; Drake, 2024).In this study, we focus on the redesign of a summer research apprenticeship program usingbackwards design principles (Hansen, 2011) which aid in constructive alignment (Biggs, 1996).Backwards design principles originate from outcome-based course design but to our knowledge,have not been explicitly applied to summer research apprenticeships in a peer-reviewedpublication or at least the details of such a design has not been published in a peer-reviewedsetting. Additionally, we acknowledge that backwards design principles have likely beenimplemented in practice to some degree, but this implementation may not have been published orexplicitly stated. Consequently, our aim is to explicit backwards design practices to

generally have for lab coursework. Anotherissue students experience is developing a thorough understanding of what the lab is teaching andretaining that knowledge. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the discipline of manufacturingprocesses and the study of material properties in material science.Material properties lie at the heart of many engineering disciplines, as materials are whatengineers incorporate in their disciplines. The study of material properties can be greatlyaccelerated in engineering courses by integrating a hands-on approach to the creation and testingof laboratory experiments through inquiry-based experiential learning. This approach will beachieved by allowing students to create, design, test, and write their own laboratory
