University is a strong proponent ofexperiential learning, a “bottom-up” method in which general lessons and principles are learnedthrough direct personal experiences and observations. Active modes of learning can enrich,broaden and deepen the knowledge base, which is gained from readings and class lectures1,2,3.The system used at Rowan is called Engineering Clinics. This is an eight semester project basedseries of courses which are a requirement of all engineering students for graduation. It can beseen in the following sections that experiential learning is a hallmark of Rowan’s engineeringcurriculum, which will be utilized for these projects.

] in Australia, there wereserious issues regarding the low motivation students had to interact with academics, which had an impact ontheir morale. Furthermore, student/staff ratios were very high; hence there was no capacity for any effort fromthe academics. Some academics felt that undergraduates were unmotivated and that there was no value toengaging with them outside the classroom environment. In order to find ways to address these problems, andprovide students with a space to develop sense of belonging and engage with their peers through a co-curricularexperience, the School of Civil Engineering in 2015 developed the Icarus program. Icarus is a voluntary,project-based, research program where students engage with peers in small projects
