As the apprentice gains competence, the expert graduallyreduces their support (fading), allowing the apprentice to practice independently and achieveproficiency [11].One of the critical challenges students encounter when transitioning from academia to industry iseffectively applying the theoretical knowledge acquired in school to real-world practice [28]. Theapprenticeship model of undergraduate research directly addresses this issue by allowingstudents to work closely with experienced mentors on real-world projects [26]. This model ofresearch immerses learners in real-world contexts, provides direct mentorship and feedback

While a significant amount of research hasexamined how students work together to complete design projects and learn design [4]–[6] fewstudies have examined students solving homework problems or projects in engineering sciencecourses, an understudied area of research [7]. Lord and Chen [8] have called for more researchinto the “middle years” of the engineering degree, where students must take a number ofdisconnected courses with high levels of mathematical problem solving that are not highlyengaging for students.Douglas and colleagues have answered this call by examining the types of problems in typicaltextbooks [9], students' use of

Coursecontent and structure was aimed to be as interactive as possible, including extensive in-classdiscussion activities as well as two large group projects where students presented their findingsto the class. We intentionally incorporated content and student activities on social equity,environmental justice, and the unequal impacts of a changing climate. Assessment was viastudent course evaluations

: Containing Design: Rethinking Design Instruction to Support Engineering Device Development for Low-Income CountriesAbstractWork-in-Progress: One of the primary benefits of a makerspace is the concentration of tools,materials, and expertise in one place [1]. Without makerspaces, design education in many low- tomiddle-income countries (LMIC) stops with a “paper” design and does not move onto a physicalprototype. More than 75% of registered makerspaces are in North America and Europe [2], andless than 4% of registered makerspaces are in Africa [3].As part of a joint project between Duke University (NC, USA) and Makerere University(Kampala, Uganda), “twin” makerspaces were built at the respective universities.

To illustrate, sometimes an idea stews for a good while in the form of an initial concepton which a team of colleagues continues to ponder and explore a direction for a particular topic andthe viability of the project. Conversations through collaborative interaction, among team members,are critical in bringing the most effective articulation of proposal pieces, and the multitude of pointsof views, from a collaborating team, enable a powerful array of avenues in building to the mostcompetitive proposal: in short, a group genius approach is far more productive than a solo centeredmodel. For example, the working group may have continual conversations, read, try things in thelab, ponder and pilot aspects of the work, etc., before even
