ScLRs are particularly useful for quickly mapping out key concepts,existing literature, and evidence to identify gaps in current research defined by a specificresearch question (Arksey & O’Malley, 2005; Samnani et al., 2017). Our study used Arksey andO’Malley’s (2005) ScLR framework (Figure 1), which recommends a five-stage protocol forconducting a scoping review: (1) identify research question(s), (2) identify relevant studies, (3)select relevant studies, (4) chart the data, and (5) summarize and report the results.

Novice designers often neglect problem development, becoming fixatedon particular solution concepts that are later found to be unsatisfactory.5 Even then, novicedesigners may continue to hold on to their early ideas and try to “design out” their flaws insteadof starting over with a new design concept and/or returning to the problem definition to makesure they have understood it correctly - as an expert designer is more likely to do.At the same time, other studies in design education have shown that a systematic approach to theearly stages of design can be helpful to students,20 as long as it is not too

satisfaction regardless of the venue. The typical way to show results from a 5-point Likert scale is to show the values indistribution bars. Visualizing in this way is helpful for research when measuring impact but lesshelpful to inform decisions on actions to take based on the results. In this work, we convert theresponses into a percentage to support program benchmarking and facilitate goal setting and thenuse that to assign a letter grade. We then convert the results from each student to a percentage bysumming up all the scores given by the student and dividing by 35 (i.e., seven items x five-pointscale). For example, a student who responds to the PS items with 5's to six items and 4 to oneitem, provides a score of 34 out of 35 possible points

However, post-warJapanese engineers felt the need to expunge their guilt at having developed such technologyand instead utilised it for more peaceful purposes. The learning outcomes from this lecture were measured by filling out a questionnaire.Most of them mentioned their redemption by developing technology used for the war,importance of having a peaceful mindset, safety, and/or the contribution of the threeengineers as the most impressive lessons learned (see their feedback in ‘Program evaluation’below).

We alsoidentified new themes emergent from our data.We identified an EER instance when one or more of the group members express negativejudgements of collaborative learning (including uncertainty) and intend to make an adjustment orchange to it. When an EER was identified, we assigned it a code of EER category—the targetarea of regulation (i.e., cognition, behavior, motivation, social, and emotion). We added thecategory of social, which is not in Sobocinski et al.’s framework, to code the regulation towardsconflicts between group members.

Theclinical immersion video (see appendix Table 5) elicited an average level of engagement at 6.33, with twoof the participants beginning to feel bored at around 10 minutes. No participant fell asleep, one felt adrowsiness level of 7 out of 9 while the other two did not experience any drowsiness from watching thevideo.

Begun almosta half century ago, the laboratory capabilities and student experiments were originally based onmeasurement equipment in the VHF, UHF, and X-bands. In the early years core experimentswere based on use of the slotted line and General Radio equipment at the lower frequencies andthe slotted waveguide and Hewlett Packard equipment in the X-band. In time, computer analysisand design of microwave devices was added.STUDENT EXPERIMENTS IN THE EARLY YEARSThe applied electromagnetics laboratory of the 1970 s included labs such as the following: (1)measurement of transmission-line characteristics, (2) microwave power measurements, (3)modeling
; another responsibility is the implementation of continuous processimprovement by improving the experiments and their descriptions. This has been the sameperson since the course s inception; it was first run in 2003. It was developed from an electivelecture-only course that this individual gave in 2000; it was found that particle technology is arich subject for class-demonstrations and the experiments to be described grew out of these. Theapparatus for the experiments was constructed with readily available components and simplebench-top or hand tools; no machine-shop work was required. Two texts have been used over the history of the course, viz. Introduction to ParticleTechnology (1) and Fundamentals of Particle Technology (2). The latter one is
