Developing such a skillset requires that students master the ability to make emotionalconnections among theoretical concepts [7]. This means that engineering educators need toinvolve students at cognitive and emotional levels in authentic, meaningful, and immersivelearning experiences amidst a full curriculum. This study, which uses mixed methods to comparedata from two semesters (one face to face, one online only) of the same Design forManufacturability course, seeks to address this need by investigating the following broadresearch question: How might

While it may be enticing to attribute such observationsto the older students merely being more mature, experienced, and focused, couldthere also be other drivers contributing to these trends?Background Many researchers have studied brain development in humans. Untilrecently, the physiology of brain development was not known. It was thoughtthat beyond the prenatal stage, there were no large-scale changes and thatdevelopment continued along a straight-line trajectory. (C., 2009). It turns out,however, that this is not the case. Certain brain regions are now known todevelop faster than others. The emotional capacity of the brain develops anddominates when
