problem contexts that students would encounter in appliedscenarios. However, this idealized practice schedule can be at odds against the demands of thecourse syllabus schedule. The breadth of concepts that a ChE course must cover in its syllabus, especially one thatis part of the core curriculum, limits both the amount of time and instructional strategies thatlesson plans or homework can prescribe to a particular concept[2], [3]. This in turn can detractfrom students’ targeted practice on a particular concept to either not sufficiently demonstrate allcontexts or attempt to do too much at once within problems that can then strain the number ofcognitive tasks students can successfully complete[4]. To bolster concept application

However, such collaborations present challenges, including disparate outcomeexpectations, limited support, and a common deficiency in contemporary technicalknowledge and hands-on competency among students. In response to these challenges, theengineering faculty at the University of Hong Kong established the Tam Wing FanInnovation Wing (also known as the HKU Inno Wing) [1].

These issues were compounded by increased food and housing insecurities and mentalhealth struggles due to the stress of the pandemic [12]. Despite some support from institutions andorganizations, such as ScholarMatch, many students lacked sufficient resources and assistance,exacerbating educational inequalities, and underscoring the need for targeted support to ensuretheir academic success [13], [14].

Therefore, we plan to factor in students’ efforts whenpredicting their course performance.One of the best ways to measure how much a student cares about their academic performance isto analyze their participation in the class [1, 10, 11]. A discussion forum is a platform that enablesstudents to seek help from their peers and instructors. Multiple studies have focused on producingand analyzing the statistical correlation between discussion forum data and student courseperformance [11, 12, 13].

However, this initial enthusiasm requires careful moderation to prevent it fromeclipsing the core content goals and to mitigate the risk of activity fatigue, which can emerge fromrepetitive LbE use. A critical issue noted was the difficulty in connecting these engaging activities withthe design thinking framework comprehensively. During the Explore phase, LbE effectively facilitateddesign ideation, promoting hands-on exploration. Yet, the efficacy of this phase hinged on the structureddelivery of LbE sessions.

However, a focuson projects that would be practical to implement may dissuade students from being as creative aspossible.Another limitation of the project itself was identified by commuter students, who noted that itwas challenging to formulate an idea for an issue on campus. To make this project more inclusiveof commuters, we plan to open up the project to areas of opportunity on campus or in students’home communities.A limitation of this work related to the data analysis is that terms in the survey, such as “sense ofcommunity” and “prior knowledge,” were not

This experimentalprogram employs hands-on, problem based learning and supportive (mastery-based) assessmentto prepare students to approach problem solving as an iterative activity.Hands-on, problem-based learning and mastery-based assessment are pedagogies that focus onstudents' learning and include iteration through failure as a defining feature. Problem basedlearning is an approach in which students solve open-ended, ill-structured, authentic problems inwhich iteration is treated as a problem-solving process [8], [9]. These ill-structured
