To encourage student engagement with engineering technical contentin a realistic manner, a set of laboratories is in development for a sequence of two coursescovering statics, solid mechanics, and material properties. These courses are part of a non-disciplinary engineering program and start second semester sophomore year and continuethrough first semester junior year. The labs are inquiry-based and meant to be completed in oneto two 100-minute lab periods, providing students with multiple distinct problems to addressthroughout the courses.The labs are motivated by design briefs providing a real-world problem.

However, engineering students solving problems insmall groups in the context considered here (i.e., not in a laboratory or capstone project) hasreceived little attention in the literature. At least until the time of their article, Springer et al.(1999) argued that small-group learning for undergraduate engineering students was notcommonly practiced, even though many studies have shown a statistically significant andpositive effect on achievement, persistence, and attitude on undergraduate STEM students [21].They strongly recommended it be used, although they did not specify a particularimplementation.
