These courses are used as an alternative to conventional laboratorycourse with fixed objectives and predetermined results. The intent is to show undergraduatestudents how higher-level research is completed, without the standard “training wheels”.Students observe new unique outcomes, and get experience in a laboratory environment,including common practices within the field of study, as well as teamwork and collaborationwhile conducting research with unknown results (Ballen et al., 2017; Corwin & La, 2014).These types of projects have expanded into the

. The challenge requires students to construct a solar powered boat tocompete in several different categories including technical reports, visual displays,workmanship, sprint races and endurance events. Students learn to apply solar energy in atransportation efficient design and gain hands-on experience with sustainable energy and energymanagement. Each part is manufactured in the Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU)laboratories and more than 80% of the boat is built by hand.The Solar Boat project originated in 2004 by the MTSU Associate Dean of Basic and AppliedSciences, Dr. Saeed Foroudastan. Most students use this project to complete their Capstonecourse requirement, a necessity to graduate. Seniors help undergraduate level students

This engagementstimulates student learning through an intervention based on real-world experience. Wrightindicates these interventions can take place with minimal logistic constraints when applied shortterm [5].One of the leading and well-researched models for EL is Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle [4].The application of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory consisting of a four-stage cycle(experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting) is widely popular in many
