Thisresulted in a course format similar to ENGG 200.Both courses have a significant regular laboratory component, where students are given theopportunity to collaborate with peers and receive coaching from instructors and teachingassistants. In these laboratory sessions, students work on exploratory exercises and larger design-based projects. This interactive
