engineering, as design requires a mixture of technical and professional skills.However, despite the similarities that design courses may offer to real-world experiences,educators face challenges balancing what the curriculum can simulate (e.g., realistic designconstraints, access to stakeholders) and what would be most helpful in developing students forthe complex, multidisciplinary work environment they will enter after graduation [3]. As such,there is currently a gap between what educational opportunities are feasible within academiaversus what is required to excel in collaborative, multidisciplinary design environments. This gaphas been echoed in current literature through discussions of the need to enhance professionalskills such as communication
