(Roehl et al., 2013). Even so,students may not value cooperative learning or find it to be a positive experience because of theirdesire to get “correct” information from the instructor that they can memorize after class(Herreid, 2013). This idea is supported by the focus group responses desiring online videos or in-person lectures instead of or in addition to online reading and web-based resources. In anengineering class focusing on problem-solving approaches, it is challenging to help studentsdevelop an intuitive sense for risk-taking and innovation when multiple problem-solvingtechniques are possible. Although the flipped course structure with many low-stakes practiceproblems should have encouraged students to try approaches with low risk of

(Although thiswas a common observation, a single respondent felt that BS classes had “more camaraderie” thanAB classes.) Another response described the effect of different classroom styles on the student:“In BS classes, my thinking was myopic, and I was focused on simply absorbing the curriculum.In AB classes, I felt much more curious and open-minded.”Each of these responses related to an aspect of the “Faculty/Classes in Engineering Studies,”suggesting that a strength of the program is its faculty members and the classroom environmentsand experiences they facilitate.

According to the literature, there is a greatneed for longitudinal analysis of STEM outreach programs, especially informal ones, and supportstudents from historically excluded backgrounds.

As one author describes it, theseapproaches “[allow] students to draw on their own experiences…to create a focal point andmeaning around abstract ethical concepts” [19, p. 1390].While the literature on experiential learning in engineering ethics has grown substantially inrecent years, extensions of this strategy into the realm of engineering leadership education iscomparatively rarer in published research. Our development of The Mystery Lab, therefore,leverages an opportunity to explore how the strengths of an experiential approach to ethicsinstruction can be applied not just to personal decision making, but to the collective behaviors
