without reform, Africa is likely in 2020–30 to have more graduates withoutcritical technical skills than those with them (African Capacity Building Foundation, 2017).STI capacity has been shown to be closely linked to variations among countries in productivity(Allard, 2015). Countries with a larger STI capacity generally tend to be the most prosperous andmost industrialized. They also tend to be more politically stable, often with functioningdemocratic systems; and they provide high-quality employment for their best talent, which helpsto stem the brain drain and bolster the country´s human capital. STI capacity has been shown toplay a role in the development process of the world´s lagging and emerging economies, and inmaintaining technological

. As an alternative and/or supplement, asynchronous labs have been developed [4] toallow for the hands-on experience while maintaining the flexibility and low-cost of doing soexternal to a traditional lab.However, instruction through longer-term projects, which span multiple lab sessions versusindividual labs, is quite advantageous because it is similar to how the engineering professionfunctions in industry [5]. Not only does it involve hands-on learning, it utilizes the advantage ofan instructor being present to assist the student(s) [6, 7].Course StructureThe course discussed in this paper is Engineering Methods, Tools, & Practice II (ENGR 111),the second component of a required first-year introductory sequence that typically enrolls

balls.Engineering design in scientific inquiryThe class was oriented towards developing a scientific model; our task was to explain, or model,the energy in the Gaussian Gun system. As instructor, there was no explicit requirement thatstudents produce any artifact or engage in design as part of the work. That is, our focus as a classwas in developing a scientific explanation. The design was emergent from this, rather than arequirement in itself for the course.Based on the above work that the students did, we pose the following questions regarding designin scientific inquiry: 1. For each group, how did their particular design challenges emerge? 2. What role did their designed artifact(s) play in their inquiry? 3. In what ways did their design mirror

This is particularly evident in students who cannot or do not attend SIsessions on a regular basis. However, incorporation of better active learnings strategies in largegroup settings and more training for SIs geared towards large group settings is likely necessary.This may include requesting rooms that can be tailored to breaking up large groups into smallerones (9, 10, 11).

This practice truly allowed students toexperience the entire scientific process from solid theoretical reasoning obtained from virtuallaboratories, to designing their own activities, to initial observations, and to follow-on activitiesbased on the results of earlier activities. As a consequence, combined virtual and physical hands-on activities greatly helped students to explore inquiry-based organic solar cell projects withenhanced reasoning, problem solving, and communication skills.
