opportunities ofengineering students are also constantly evolving [3]. Nowadays, engineering students arepursuing careers in more diversified areas that possess fluid work structures, and that requireengineers that are quick to adapt to change and effective at facilitating multidisciplinarycollaborations [3], [5], [10]. In this context, communication and teamwork are critical to thesuccess of early career engineers; these capabilities are a fundamental aspect of career growthand an integral trait of leadership [4], [10]–[12].

As the learner obtains more independence, the expert’s support is graduallydiminished. Typically, scaffolding is part of teaching strategy implemented at different levels ofinstruction (a task, a syllabus, a curriculum). But what we observed in MHR Lab occurredspontaneously and without formal planning or instructional design. We call this type ofinstructional strategy an “organically occurring scaffolding” and discuss it in more details in aseparate publication [37].Peer-to-peer learningPeer-to-peer learning, understood as partnering with more experienced lab members
